Keenan Cahill Just Went Down On Me
by Demosthenes on Nov.10, 2010, under Current Affairs, Internet, Music
The Keenan Cahill 50 Cent Down On Me lip-sync video is taking the net by storm. This 15-year-old is a YouTube sensation who has covered such songs by Katy Perry, Usher, Michael Jackson and more. 50 Cent teams up with the YouTube celebrity to take on Down On Me by Jeremih and I must say, it is pretty effing hilarious. How can you not love this little guy?
The video was premiered on Chelsea Lately on Monday November 8th, 2010 with 50 and the YouTube star showing off some pretty fierce synchronized dance moves in addition to Cahill’s fabulous lip-synching skills. The hip hop star even gave his big fat blingin’ necklace to Cahill to sport during one point of the video.
In addition to the premiere, Keenan was interviewed by Handler on her talk show and even brought on the charm by giving the blond “cougar” comedian his digits. Talk about a brave thing to do considering Handler is rumored to be linked to beefed up rapper 50 Cent. I’m thinking 50 wasn’t worried.
Cahill has racked up over 30 million hits for his YouTube lip synching hits “Teenage Dream” by Katy Perry and DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love by Usher. Talk about unbelievable! We’ve posted a couple of our favorite videos of Cahill and his skills, including the Chelsea Lately video premiere below?
Dead Bodies on Google Street View in Sao Paulo
by Demosthenes on Oct.02, 2010, under Current Affairs
Move over City of God, Sao Paulo has taken the spotlight of Brazil’s carnage. But it’s not a former journalist cum movie director that’s sharing the vivid images of dead bodies in the street, it’s Google.
The search giant updated their Street View service to allow a guided tour of the streets of Sao Paulo, a city with roughly 900% the homicide rate of New York City. So naturally, when bodies started showing up, the world wasn’t surprised. Except that the bodies made their way onto the internet and into classrooms.
Along with decapitated corpses, the service also showed men defecating on the sidewalk. “Yes, dear. Make a left at the rolling, disembodied head, and a right at the pile of man poo…”
Photos of the bodies after the jump, if your stomach is strong enough. Or just simply click here.

Girl Throws Puppies in River
by Demosthenes on Aug.31, 2010, under Current Affairs
We, at v1r4l, are so disgustingly appalled at this video, we won’t even dignify it with an embed. As the title says, a girl laughs while throwing a half dozen new-born, yelping puppies into a river. Alas, as it’s viral, we had to feature it, however we neither enjoy, nor condone the behavior shown in this clip. If anyone knows this girl, please toss her into a river of diarrhea for all of us here at v1r4l.
Cruel Cat Woman
by Demosthenes on Aug.26, 2010, under Current Affairs
Maybe it’s because we have so many cat-loving friends, or because an overwhelming percentage of posts on v1r4l are about cats, but this has been sent to us over a dozen times already this week.

What you’re looking at is Mary Bale, British self-proclaimed cat lover, and the world’s current most hated viral phenomenon. Apparently, the poor tabby, Lola, was trapped in the bin for fifteen hours. Maybe the RSPCA should to that to Ms. Bale, as well. (continue reading…)
