If you've somehow managed to insulate yourself from the "Harlem Shake" video fad, I'm sorry, but you WILL be assimilated. Resistance is futile. With 4,000 different clips of people taking on the dance being uploaded to the Internet daily, it's only a matter of time before you too find yourself watching a bunch of costumed people dancing like fools. Or perhaps you'll be motivated to join the crowds and make your own video -- but if you do so, consider the cautionary tale of these Australian miners, who Harlem Shook their way into unemployment.

It's clear there's increasing competition for coming up with outrageous environments in which to capture video, since just days ago there was an FAA investigation over passengers on a Frontier Airlines flight doing the "Harlem Shake." But are YouTube views worth losing your job? I'm guessing the ex-employees of this Aussie mining company would love a do-over on joining the craze.

It was one of those moments when I thought I saw something, then quickly told myself I probably saw it wrong. But when plenty of others started commenting on it too and I saw replays of it, I was like wow -- 50 Cent really did try to plant a big old kiss on Erin Andrews during live television coverage of the Daytona 500.

He confirmed the whole deal via Twitter, ''Hey I wanted to kiss her, so I did,'' he wrote. Well, then.

It was ... really weird. See for yourself after the jump.

Hey! You! Do you like snow? How about sleds? What about dogs? And babies in pink snowsuits -- do you like those, too? If so, do I have a treat for you. Here's an adorable, too-cute-for-words clip of a Jack Russell terrier pulling a baby on a sled through the exotic frozen tundra that is their neighborhood after a blizzard.

I mean, come on. If you hate this, you're made of charcoal and you frighten me. Brrrr.

Ready to feel really, really good today? Just look at that photo of seven panda cubs!! Look at it! I honestly don't know what my fascination with pandas is -- maybe it's because I'm Asian -- but I could stare at cute little pandas, especially taking a nice, cozy nap together, all freakin' day and consider that day to be a freakin' fantastic day. That's why I love it when they make the news, since it gives me even more of an excuse to fulfill this incessant, deep, dark, carnal desire.

The Chengdu Panda Base in China recently released some photographs of a bunch of baby pandas, and I just ... I just can't. According to CNN, there are seven, yes, seven of 'em, and they were all born between July and September 2012. Four of them are male and three of them are female and OMG JUST LOOK AT THEM I CAN'T GET OVER IT.

Isn't your day awesome now?

Okay, so if I were to tell you that a city fired 13 lifeguards (and their manager) at the same time, you'd probably assume they did something really really bad, right? Like maybe they took a big group coffee break during a beginners' swimming class or screwed up on the chlorine or filled the pool with jello or something. A serious screw-up. En masse.

Probably your first guess wouldn't be that those 13 lifeguards (and their manager) got fired for making a video called "Lifeguard Style," a parody of "Gangnam Style," in the city pool, while wearing their uniforms. Except that's exactly what happened to 13 lifeguards (and their manager) in the California city of El Monte, and if you think that's a stupid reason to fire 13 lifeguards (and, you know), well, so do the 14,000 people worldwide who are petitioning El Monte officials to bring them back. As well they should, because technically, the lifeguards didn't do anything wrong.

Bust out and blow the shofar, because it's Rosh Hashanah! Today marks the Jewish New Year. Being that it's one of the two holiest days in the Jewish calendar -- along with the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur -- many Jews around the world are spending time today in synagogue. But praying isn't necessarily the only way to celebrate the High Holidays ...

One of many reasons to love Rosh Hashanah (besides the fact that it's an awesome excuse to eat apples dipped in honey, honey cake, and challah) is that it's equal parts serious and fun. We look back on the past year and setting positive intentions for the new one, but we also celebrate a sweet and happy New Year! So it's perfectly fitting that funny viral videos acknowledging the holiday have started cropping up every year. And the hit of the year 5773 is bound to be CHY aka Eric Niederman's hilarious, entertaining Rosh Hashanah parody of Korean megastar PSY's "Gangnam Style" video!

Summer in the city isn't like summer everywhere. Here, there's hangin' on the stoop, playing in the fire hydrants, and, if you're extremely fortunate, crutch fight time! For deep in the heart of the city, crutch fighters can be found practicing their ancient art around the perimeter of Times Square. Crutch fighting is a sport particular to urban areas where roam homeless men and tourists skilled in the mythical art of crutch warfare.

What is required first is a homeless man on crutches. And then a worthy sparring partner, usually in the form of a large, irate man not unwilling to grab at least one crutch of a homeless guy. You of course need many spectators to shout primordial encouragements passed down from the crutch demigods, such as, "Ooooh!!" and "Woahh!!" and "Dude, dude!!" Then, if the spirits smile upon the crutch warriors, the holy crutch ritual is captured on video and uploaded it to YouTube.

Imagine you've made it to 80-years-old, and you're still spritely, adventuresome, and hey, alive! What better way to celebrate your 80th birthday than with a little death-defying skydiving, right? Well, let me tell you, if you're even thinking about this, you'll probably change your mind after watching this video. An elderly lady by the name of Laverne Everett had the skydiving trip from hell and it's all caught on video. The jump, which took place at the Parachute Center in Lodi, California, looks anything but fun.
