Here's the set-up: Kid's mom cancels his World of Warcraft account. Kid's brother sets up video camera to catch the post-cancellation epic tantrum on tape.

Jon thinks this is real. I think it's fake. What's your vote?

I have no clue what this is all about. Seems to be a demonstration of proper seating technology. Or maybe they're selling some new crappy chair.

Regardless, this video is creepy and borderline not-safe-for-work if your boss frowns upon horrifically disturbing videos showing men's groins in spandex REALLY CLOSE UP. The voiceover is just as bizarre during these shots.

Enjoy!

*Yes, I meant to repeat "creepy" in the headline. Don't ask, it's a meme.

I've seen lots of bad karaoke. I've performed some bad karaoke. I've seen some disturbing karaoke (I'm thinking of ex-Sentinel reporter Ryan McNeil's parting performance. Don't ask). I've done some disturbing karaoke performances.

This is easily both the worst AND most disturbing karaoke. Ever.

Watch as this neon woman goes feral during her performance, starting with some sort of primal scream therapy outburst and jittering around the karaoke room like a Cirque Du Soleil performer in the grips of a meth bender.

I don't know if this woman has a chemical imbalance, some dark past or is high on angel dust. What I do know is this:

This woman has a serious case of crazy eyes.

...or maybe not, since Marcus Johnson, 33, just got sentenced to 10 years in prison for doing just that to the Wichita City Hall.

Johnson's motive? A cop told him to turn down his radio.

This video is all over the Web, but I was particularly a fan of this "remix," featuring the Blues Brothers song "Can't Turn You Loose."

I don't have a whole lot to add to the title. American ingenuity at its finest always finds ways to allow us to be even lazier than we thought we ever could be.

This one will bring tears to your eyes.

A rope walker shows a fine sense of balance, followed by complete insanity.

The only way to describe this is, dare I say it, nuts.

I counted 12 people pouring out of this overturned van before I lost count. I'm sure there's some stories of personal tragedy and hardship in that van, but I couldn't help but laugh at just how many people they managed to fit in that thing.

This was sent to me on Twitter by my colleague Geo Rodriguez. It is by far the weirdest video I can recall since "The Unicorn's Prophecy."

Please, help me to understand this, and what inspired it. The best explanation I can come up with is Pee-Wee's Playhouse on LSD.

Enjoy, and don't forget to follow @watchthisnow on Twitter.

As a kid, I always wished there were real-life superheroes. As an adult, I wish there weren't real-life superheroes.

A growing phenomenon that will no-doubt kill kids' interest in comic books is that of masked avengers trolling city streets in spandex bodysuits, looking to fight crime. Are they hulking musclemen and raven-haired beauties, doing incredible feats of strength and agility taking down master criminals?

No, it looks like a bunch of out-of-shape Dungeons and Dragons kids taking their ridiculous fantasies and inflicting them upon the vulnerable masses. It's no surprise that the superhero interviewed, "Shadow Hare," got his butt handed to him in his only physical confrontation with a real criminal.

And really? "Shadow Hare?" You can't come up with a better moniker than a dark bunny?

From Japan, the land where all things are awesome, comes the most efficient morning ritual I have ever seen. I've gotten mine down to about 10 minutes on a good day, but this guy is something else.

He deserves some sort of humanitarian award simply for his method of doing up his tie. I still sometimes have to go online to figure out how to tie my damn tie up. Fortunately, I rarely wear one.

The latest Charlie the Unicorn video is out, and in just a week it's received more hits than our blog will likely get in the next year.

Talk about tough love.

These Japanese parents hope to prepare their small children for the inevitable zombie apocalypse by scaring the crap out of them and forcing them to slay a few of the foul creatures. My only criticism is that there's not enough of an emphasis on the proper zombie target.

Aim for the heads, kiddies.

The Snuggie has ventured from batty product (it's a BACKWARDS ROBE, people...) into full-blown social phenomenon. Or cult. Depends on which side of the fleece you're on.

Thanks to the San Francisco Chronicle for warning us that the cult of the Snuggie may be coming to a pub near you.

This appears to be a circa 1980s TV news story about a guy who is really, really accurate with a slingshot. And he knocks over all manner of things -- Pepsi can, weeds, a beetle on a leaf -- to demonstrate his slingshot prowess.

He also offers some tips. My favorite: Make sure you can see your target.

Gee whiz – the special ingredient in a new Indian soda is pee from sacred cows. The concoction, which the makers expect to sell like, ahem, hot cakes, is said to provide a host of health benefits. Which is good, because I feel sick just thinking about it.

Algeria's Salim Haini is a man on a mission. He wants to be in the Guinness Book of Records under his adopted title: The man who eats everything.

Haini, 25, seen here munching on nails, candles and lightbulbs, also has a taste for lamps and sawdust. He says he’s chowed down more than 1,000 boiled eggs in a single sitting. "I've eaten two barrels of olive oil in one go, 40 loaves of bread, 75 bowls of chorba (Algerian soup)..." Haini told Reuters. "I once ate an entire roast lamb weighing 35 kilos. God willing, the authorities will help me travel abroad and become the first Arab to eat his way into the Guinness Book of Records."

But he faces some stiff competition. France’s Monsieur Mange Tout also feasts on metal and glass. And Briton Ken Edwards holds the record for eating cockroaches – 36 of them in a minute.

In my race for the bottom here on WTN, I think I've finally struck gold. But for the life of me, I have nothing witty, sarcastic, snippy, funny, or snarky to say about this video featuring a guy named Moose making chainsaw noises by (presumably) shooting air into his butt crack.*

All I'm left is with a sense that society is truly doomed and two questions for humanity:

How does one discover they have such a "talent" and why, God, why?

* In another new low for WTN, I actually looked up whether "butt crack" is one word or two. Yeah, I'm that dedicated to my craft.

Can you imagine driving down the interstate only to see a road sign warning that ZOMBIES were ahead? Wait, not just zombies. NAZI ZOMBIES.

This post is a shout-out to my colleague Sofia, who shares my singular fascination with zombies. Some creative hackers fiddled with this sign to warn us all about the zombie invasion just around the corner.

OK, so zombies may not yet have invaded Austin. Look at this as a dry run for when it does happen. 'Cuz you know it will.

Aim for the head, my friends.

Sim Jae-Duck of South Korea heads up what is called the General Assembly of the World Toilet Association. I didn't realize there was such an august political body, but I can only imagine their meetings are a sight to behold ("We bring this meeting to odor to discuss number two on our agenda...")

Mr. Jae-Duck points out that some 40 percent of the world's population lives without a toilet. In their honor, he has built this house in the shape of a toilet seat to be a shining beacon of latrine hope.

Prepare to be inspired.

There are those who say that the election of Barack Obama shatters cultural barriers, destroys the distinction between "us" and "them," recasts how we look at others who might be different from us, whether it be race, ethnicity, language or physical ability.

I say to you that the old way of thinking is dead. That the limitations of the past have been replaced with the promise of the future. That where we once asked what a person could not do, we now ask what they can do.

Today -- this bright, promising day, and every day hereafter -- we do not judge a man by whether or not he can do a kegstand in a wheelchair, but by how much beer he can consume while doing it.

Seinfeld, years later, is proving to have been one part great comedy, one part eerily prophetic science fiction.

Kramer's brilliant idea for a "manzier" or a "bro" -- a bra for men -- is finally being put on the market. In Japan, of course.

Hit the jump for the original Seinfeld clip.

At first, I thought Wolf Blitzer was tooting CNN's horn a bit too much with this hologram technology. And then Jessica Yellin appeared, Princess Leia style, in CNN's studios. I kept waiting for her to whisper, "Help me Wolf Blitzer, you're my only hope."

What better way to instruct a roomful of hormonally raging 15-year-olds than by having a young, attractive teacher do a strip tease, right? Apparently that's what this Hungarian teacher thought. Parents were not amused that this German teacher strips so freely, but I'm sure she was extremely popular with her male students.

Surprisingly, the teacher got off with just a warning. The kids... Well, you can finish the joke yourself.

Fair warning: this clip is safe for work and contains no nudity, however, it may not be safe for viewing around girlfriends or wives. Use your best judgment.

This video is one of two things:

1) A breathtaking, fresh interpretation of the essence of "dance," a paradigm-shattering reinvention of the art-form that blurs the line between man and machine in an age defined by technology...

or

2) The stupidest damn thing I've ever seen in my life.

I'll let you make up your own mind. Watch Philippe Priasso dance with at 13-ton excavator in Victoria Park (London, England, not Fort Lauderdale, USA) as part of a modern dance festival.

I think there was a song written about this. It goes something like:

"You don't step on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind, you don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger..."

"And you don't urinate on an electric fence."

Don't worry, the video is safe for work.

I have no idea if this is parody or reality (such is the age that we live in where the two are indiscernible), but sign me up if it's the real deal. Pop a squat and laugh like a psychopath? I can pull that off.

I can just imagine my dad or some other poor schmuck calling about a great deal on a computer and getting this yahoo on the other line. His hard sell leaves a lot to be desired and calling the customer "leetle girl" over and over again probably doesn't help.

Yes, it's creepy that this Canadian weatherman has an obsessive fan. But isn't it also weird that the weatherman has buttons made of himself? Do they sell the buttons or only give them to potential stalkers?
