This feels like the least organic meme ever. Like it was started specifically to make money in some way.

I think it's really weird that so many people out there just can't wait to film their own version of a meme. The kids and sports teams I sort of get, but who are these other people? Does your office have casual meme video Fridays?

there is someone on my facebook feed who sells the body by vi health shake crap, which is annoying enough as is, but apparently that company wants their sellers to upload their body by vi themed harlem shake videos. so you combine those two things and its just awful.

and this harlem shake video got a high school hockey team banned from the playoffs

That's really stupid. I mean, the video is pretty dumb as they go, but I think we're at the point where you have to accept that everyone has embarrassing or ridiculous stuff online somewhere. It's a different time, and people are growing up accustomed to this kind of thing.
