The original headline was more straightforward (from the Globe & Mail at least)

"At least five dead in Mideast sandstorm"

A sandstorm killed some people. Hence "killah". I was being slacktastic aka an asshole. Because people dying is no laughing matter. Seriously.


But "darude" 'splained: I was saying it is "rude" to kill people. But also, here is the KEY: I was trying to share a lame-ass punny popculture reference...

if you have been on Youtube during the last 2 years, what is the response virtually EVERY time someone says "hey what was that song in the background"  ::)

HINT: cf. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Darude%20-%20Sandstorm

Heck, Youtube even did an April Fools Day joke about it (http://www.tubefilter.com/2015/04/01/youtube-darude-sandstorm-april-fools-day/).  :o




(Sorry for the contusion.)

I've been on Youtube today and I had no idea that was a thing.  I don't read the comments on Youtube much, they're generally representative of the cesspit of communications.

Also, it didn't start out as a Youtube meme, it started out as a Twitch.tv meme, so...

It's also very sad that people have died.  There's enough death in that part of the world without Mother Nature pushing her way in.

Seriously though, I watched one of the other still-active links and gotta say, impressive!

Around 90 seconds it got hypnotically awesome. Almost expected "Brought to you by Harmonix -- reminding you that RHYTHM GAMES ARE STILL FUN DAMMIT!"

On Floppy drives https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFmC7hd1hno sounds very satisfying actually. Bit of a cheat with the drum beat however.
