LITTLE BROTHER: MENTAL OR FAKING IT?
The video of the kid who freaks after Mom cancels his World Of Warcraft account? Well, as a seasoned observer of Little Brother shitfits, I am sure it is fake. The insane rage detonating inside this child is so spectacular that it has to be staged. Also, the timing of key events - like the Older Brother's entry and exit, and the kid's immediate response to his Dad's "Shut Up" - is way too perfect. Nevertheless, real or not, the bit with the remote control is meme in the making.

ASCENSION
A surreal, cosmic trip compiled from the previously unseen archives of the Soviet space program, Ascension is a hypnotic montage of weirdness.
WHEN TRAIN SURFING GOES WRONG
Kids in places like South Africa go train surfing for thrills. My buddy Jamie-James recently made a film about it called Sanza Hanza. But in the Indian subcontinent, people ride roof because there's no room in the over-crowded carriages, or they can't afford a ticket.>Although the video above makes it look like a fun roof-top party, thousands of deaths from falls or electrocution occur on the region's crumbling railway system every year. One incident in Lucknow in January saw 200 people get swept off a train roof by overhanging tree branches.
A recent incident at Etawah station was caught on phone-camera by someone standing on the platform. The film shows a young man climb onto a train and act erratically in front of the gathered crowd. Then, almost by accident, he grips the high-voltage cable.
