If you’re like me, you’ve seen one to many worthless “Harlem Shake” videos. I do think you’ll feel a bit differently after watching this one from a Netherlands-based Parkinson’s Disease foundation. In the video, we see the foundation’s founder (who has Parkinson’s) do his best to Harlem Shake.
The video, created by Saatchi & Saatchi Amsterdam, ends not as you would expect and with the tagline, “Shaking. Fun For Some…Daily Struggle For Others.”

A South Carolina newspaper is apologizing for placing an advertisement for “Guns for Christmas” next to its story about the Connecticut elementary school shooting which left 20 children and half a dozen adults dead. The Rock Hill Herald’s ad showed a picture of an AR-15 rifle, which is the same model used by 20-year-old Adam Lanza to kill 26 people and himself on Friday in Newtown, Connecticut.
