  • World Cup Streaker Was a Big YouTube Star

    World Cup Streaker Was a Big YouTube Star

    Did you watch the World Cup final on Sunday afternoon? Do you remember when the cameras cut to an extended (and actually rather beautiful) shot of Rio’s Christ the Redeemer statue framing a gorgeous sunset?

    Well, during those few seconds, you were missing out on a streaker who had painted “Natural Born Prankster” on his chest and ran out onto the pitch, attempting to plant a big ol’ kiss on German defender Benedikt Howedes. Networks shy away from broadcasting streakers, as most feel that showing the act somehow glorifies it. The streaker was less than successful and was easily tackled by security within a few seconds of making his run. You may not have seen it live, but thankfully we have LeBron James to thank for capturing an Instagram video of it:

    As it turns out, our streaker is kind of internet famous. It’s actually Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, a YouTube prankster who has amassed nearly 6.5 million followers on his channel VitalyzdTV.

    It looks like this was planned for quite some time.

    We even got a jail selfie.

    Maybe that’s all Messi needed – a kiss for good luck.

  • Batman Banned By Orioles Officials

    Sometimes, when it’s your birthday and you’ve had a few drinks, you start thinking a few wild thoughts. You might seriously consider getting up onstage to perform a rousing rendition of “Tubthumping” at a karaoke bar, or make your move on that hot girl with the Adam’s apple. Or, you might throw on a cape and some Batman undies and run full speed across a baseball field on opening day. Whichever.

    Mark Harvey says he just wanted to make people laugh and get the crowd fired up, which he did to great effect, but officials weren’t so amused. He has now been banned for life from Camden Yards after being tackled by security guards and arrested. All charges against him were dropped, however.

    “They said all the charges were dropped, which I was surprised,” Harvey said. “I asked them twice, like, are you sure?”

    They’re sure, alright, but it will cost you a lifetime of Orioles games. Nice Underoos, though.
