What Does the Fox Say: Ylvis Music Video Goes Viral, Defies Human Comprehension

Watch out, Gangnam Style. Norwegian duo Ylvis has released a music video, entitled “The Fox,” that may be the biggest viral hit of the fall – if not all of 2013. Bard Ylvisaker and Vegard Ylvisaker, collectively Ylvis, begin with a simple theme familiar to anyone with kids of pre-school age: What does this animal say? Somehow, from that came the bizarre, hilarious, amazingly catchy video below: Ylvis – The Fox (Official Music Video) A Lonely Island-esque duo, Ylvis had many wondering if this was “real.” The production value of their effort, on par with the also-critter-themed Katy Perry “Roar” music video , certainly boosts the viral potential of the song. Visually, it’s a sight to behold … for better or worse. But it’s the pulsating, hypnotic, electro-pop beat that really drives “The Fox,” punctuated by the echoing, forever epic refrain, “What Does the Fox Say?!” Eat your heart out, PSY. #YLVIS4LYFE.

Appolo Nida Roughs Up Brandon DeShazer in Real Housewives of Atlanta Brawl

Brandon DeShazer, Kenya Moore’s assistant, was seriously roughed up by Appolo Nida, Phaedra Parks’ husband (below), in an epic Real Housewives of Atlanta brawl. We’ll have to wait months before this plays out on the Bravo show, but the alleged beatdown, which was caught on tape, all stemmed from a workout video. It’s not entirely clear why, but witnesses say Appolo flew into a rage and “violently attacked” DeShazer at a party that was being filmed for the upcoming season. Nida reportedly had to be restrained by SEVEN crew members. Appolo Nida was pissed because Brandon DeShazer and Kenya Moore had apparently agreed to produce a workout video starring Phaedra Parks. Instead, they went and produced their own, cutting Phaedra out. Nida felt slighted, blamed DeShazer for stabbing Phaedra in the back, and opened huge can of whoop ass on The Real Housewives of Atlanta star’s assistant. That’s according to witnesses. Nida has a different story. The reality star tells TMZ that there was a fight on the set, which he didn’t elaborate on, and that he tried to break it up and got attacked by Brandon. Nida says he defended himself but it got out of control.

Fat Letters: Schools in 19 States Weigh Kids, Send Reports to Parents

Schools in 19 states are weighing students and sending reports to their parents with their body mass index (BMI) and other measurements, reports say. Kids have started calling the reports “fat letters.” Fat Letters Many families and health experts have started pushing back against the reports -slash-fat letters, arguing they could damage the children’s self-esteem. Proponents say the practice is actually an effective progress report and a tool for establishing whether a student is healthy or unhealthy physically. A person’s BMI is calculated by dividing their weight by the square of their height, then applied to their age and gender and measured against peers. BMI is the primary measurement used to determine if a person is considered overweight and obese, a condition these 19 states are trying to reduce. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one-third of children and adolescents are considered overweight or obese. These children are believed to at increased risk for a variety of health problems, including asthma, sleep apnea, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. None of which are good, obviously, but is it really a school’s place to call attention to it in this manner, evaluating BMI alongside students’ academic skills? Fat letters: Right or wrong?   Right! If it helps anyone get healthier it’s worth it! Wrong! It’s not the schools’ place to do this! View Poll »
