It’s for people who actually “get” the latest craze on the internet. Which I don’t. Then again, I never understood Gangnam Style either.
I came across the following the other day, and was totally confused. Perhaps it’s bad to admit the following, given that I get all my news and entertainment from the internet, but I had no idea what the Harlem Shake was. And after doing a fair amount of research, I still don’t get it. But my editor thought it might be such a bad idea to share it anyway, plus it IS fairly red hot at the moment…

Given the overwhelming amount of positive comments found in every example, all I can say is that I’m officially getting old.
