Video: Step-Off 2010 Controversy
In what was billed as the “largest Greek stepping competition ever”, an all white sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha, won first place in the contest. Because stepping is predominantly practiced by black fraternities and sororities, there was a bit of an uproar over the decision, which was later altered. Read more about that here or watch Trinity and her stepping pals dance right below.

Video: Awkward White Kid Majorly Disappointed In Tyler Perry
Fourteen-year-old Nick Ondras of Connecticut loves him some Tyler Perry, but was baffled by the media mogul's recent effort, Madea Goes To Jail (make sure to stick around as Nick drags Rudy Huxtable's name through the mud).

Link: Cute Little Adolf Hitler Denied Birthday Cake
http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/mostemailed/*http://...
A cute little boy named Adolf Hitler Campbell was rejected when his dad tried to order a birthday cake with the boy's name. ShopRite refused because they thought the name was inappropriate. We all feel sorry for this poor little boy. But let's not forget the real victim here: THE SIX MILLION JEWS AND MILLIONS OF OTHER INNOCENTS MURDERED BY ADOLF HITLER! Oh and the name of Adolf Hitler's little sister is “JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell”. I mean, can you even think of a name stupider than JoyceLynn? Every person she meets: “Jocelyn?” Her: “No, no, it is like Joyce and Lynn put together without a space or a hyphen.”

Link: Post-Obama Chaos
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9608...
If Obama wins the presidency, will celebration turn into mass chaos? The suggestion was put forth in an NPR piece in which an elderly Pennsylvanian McCain supporter said, “I don’t want to sound racist, and I’m not racist, but [if Obama wins] I feel a lot of black people are going to feel it’s payback time.” We’re not sure if “payback time” is meant to connote a gory action movie sequence, but it sure does sound…well, racist.
