CNN.com posts anything on their site to get attention. They've become on par with the annoying facebook friend that posts anything and everything to get attention. Recently their front page article was focused on yahoo's new work policy and why its supposedly good/bad. Pulling up some of their "featured" stories include the following:

16 year old model wearing "blackface"
Dog trained to do house chores
A video about a reporter saying "it sucks here"
3 videos about the latest YT fad "harlem shake" with its own subsection
"Why we love Jennifer Lawrence"
New twist for teen who flipped off judge
Teen beauty queen resigns over porn flap

Some of this stuff is great if your bored or on the sift, but newsworthy it is not.

And for a more direct answer to what you were saying, yeah thats all entertainment news right there, "OMG, Seth Mc.... said so and so, how does the other party react? YOU DONT KNOW!?!?! Well shit, make something up that sounds profound and post it". Its like a social gathering, except the viewers don't actually socialize with the involved parties.

This was more entertaining than any Harlem shake nonsense. Makes me wish I liked clams more. And by clams I mean actual clams not vagina(saw that coming.)

Love the quick shot of the hat at the end.

Great stuff, @youdiejoe.

Surprising how polarizing this topic is. It's like the Harlem Shake of yesteryear.

Please kill 'Harlem Shake' next.

If you removed the Harlem shake bit, just the last five seconds would have made an excellent Five Second Film.

Unfortunate that so many of them complained that people were shitting on Harlem and then turned around and shit on people from "West 4th", "Jersey", "California", "Florida".

Yes, the Harlem Shake meme is stupid as fucking hell, as memes tend to be, but STFU about how much respect you deserve. Al B deserves credit for the shake, maybe; the rest of you just happen to live in the same place.

I broke a promise to rottenseed to stay on the down vote train but this speaks to my sensibilities as well as my suspicion that Harlem residents and black folks in general would see this meme as yet another way white folks can make anything and everybody look awkward and deficient.

Oh and finally, some examples of the authentic Harlem shake moves from people with rhythm-
