Pro Tip, People

A very nice local story from down the road in Lexington, and if you haven't seen the video, first let's take a look:




And the story:

Aaron Collins was only in his 20s. But something, his family and friends say, made him outline three things he wanted when he died: to repay his parents any debt he may have owed, to give a homeless person some money and to leave "an awesome tip" for a waiter or waitress.

"I'm not talking about 25%. I mean $500 for a ... pizza," Collins wrote in his will, according to his brother.

Collins died on July 7, just three weeks after his 30th birthday, in a Lexington, Kentucky, hospital, leaving behind family and friends who took up his final request -- to leave a big tip.

Family and friends fulfilled Aaron's request, tipping one waitress in Lexington the $500, a moment that Aaron's brother, Seth Collins, videotaped and posted online Wednesday to YouTube. It is linked to the family's memorial page, AaronCollins.org.

And they did just that, and this thing blew up.  Do drop by the page and help make more EPIC WIN for folks out there.

I've Seen This Movie Before

And topping our list of stupid things to do in the Gunshine State of Florida?  Pretend you're a zombie for a viral video project just to see how people react.  How people react is they try to shoot your undead zombie ass, that's how.

Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, who says he came to the United States in 2004 to become an actor, posted a video of himself over the weekend in a zombie costume chasing various younger people in streets, parking lots and parks in Miami.

At about the 2 minute mark in the video, one young man fleeing the zombie attack can be seen pointing a gun at the prankster.

“Very Dangerous Prank!” Zdorovetskiy wrote on his YouTube page. “Almost Got Shot at 2:00! DO NOT TRY IT!”

Americans.  Trained to shoot zombies, man.  Trained.

Epic Fail: Bully Style

A viral video of a kid who has Had Enough took off, thanks to TMZ.  The bully was suspended for 21 days.  The kid who put an abrupt end to his torment was suspended for four days.  I was horrified from the beginning, but it was still worth watching, in that train wreck sort of way. Watching the poor boy take punches bothered me, and the utter lack of response from surrounding kids implies this happens far too often.
