Granted, most people aren't afraid of ladybugs, but they've probably never seen that video of a ladybug taking off in super-slow motion. Or had a house infested with them.

Morning News Anchor Pulls ‘Anchorman’-Style Prompter Prank

Ellen Reveals ‘Finding Nemo’ Sequel Is Finally Coming

‘Kabooyow! Lady’ Is Your New Favorite Viral Video Star
Sadly, we don't have more opportunities to scream "Kabooyow! Kabooyow!" in our everyday life. But we *want* to say it all the time now, thanks to Michelle Clark and this news interview she did.
Woman Letting Internet Name Her Baby for $5,000
Suddenly we feel very lucky to have been born in the '80s. Back then, our biggest naming danger was being called Brandi or Lacey. One mom-to-be is letting the internet name her child, so who knows what it will be called.

Now that we think of it, why wouldn't you add footage of screaming goats to as many songs as you possibly could? Needless to say, this new internet trend makes much more sense to us than Harlem Shake videos or teenagers throwing gallons of milk into the air...
