   Currently the #5 international Trending Topic on Twitter is "Zangief" the nickname given to the husky bullying victim.

3. Reddit

   

   A link to the video was posted to Reddit, although the video keeps being removed from Youtube. In the video, a scrawny kid seems to be harassing a heavier kid, landing at least one punch before being picked up and thrown to the ground.

4. Update

   The following text has been appended to certain uploads. Whether or not the information contained is factual remains to be seen.

5. "Casey Heynes has had enough of being bullied. This 16 year old kid has been tormented every single day of his short high school life - and today he snapped!! He was suspended and may be looking at criminal charges, all because this little runt thought he could make an example of Casey in front of his "TUFF buddies!!" Althought I don't condone violence, I felt compelled to pat him on the back with a big massive kudos!! To all the bullies out there - you will get yours one day! And for those who feel inspired by Casey's retaliation - feel free to post a message here for him! He doesn't have facebook, but practically lives at my house and he is very excited to see what messages will be here for him each day!"

1. Twitter Trend

   

   I couldn't help but notice that Keanu Reeves was trending on Twitter this afternoon. Considering the unprecedented popularity of the Sad Keanu meme in the 2nd half of 2010 I thought I smelled something amiss.

2. What the Trend?

   

   According to WhatTheTrend, the rationale behind the sudden surge in Keanu Reeves tweets had to do with the announcement of the third Bill & Ted movie. Isn't that old news?

3. 

   Sure, we saw that news already three months ago.

4. 

   What seems to be the cause of today's Keanu Reeves explosion would be this interview that Keanu Reeves gave to The Guardian's Ryan Gilbey.

5. Although the article touches on mentions of the new Bill & Ted film, and a fair amount of detail on his pet project Henry's Crime, nearly half of the article is about what the Internet really wants: the Sad Keanu meme.

6. Excerpt:

   He's in such cheery spirits that I don't mind mentioning the matter of Sad Keanu, but there's a definite downwards shift in room temperature when I do. It's not that he's frosty about it exactly; he just seems nonplussed whenever anything pertaining to his image comes up.

7. I don't want to give away the ending, so go read Gilby's full interview on The Guardian. So is The Guardian entirely responsible for the trend? Not entirely.

8. 

   While The Guardian may have started everyone tweeting about Keanu today, it was the fact that three 90's stars (including Dave Grohl and Alicia Silverstone) were all trending at the same time that has caused the biggest and fastest increase. Grohl first emerged on the trends list today because of his birthday, while news of Silverstone's pregnancy put her on the list.

9. Now, there are tweets containing all three stars and their 90's careers in every permutation imaginable.

14. So now those three are trending, because they're trending. The snake is eating its tail. And I'm posting about buzz that's buzzworthy because it's buzz on a buzz-tracking feed of buzz. Dawg.

With 2010 coming to an end, we're taking a look back on the top-performing, most shared, viral posts of the year. From obvious memes like Sad Keanu to the incredible plastic cutlery dragon , this year's Top 50 offers a surprising mix.

This might be the coolest Easter egg of all time.

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton has blocked major elements of Arizona's controversial (i.e., stupid and racist) immigration law, including parts that would have allowed officers to check immigration status during unrelated stops.

After she compared herself to Shakespeare , Twitter users took it upon themselves to rework the Bard's passages to make them more Palinesque. To refudiate or not to refudiate - that is the question.
