Rebecca Black - Friday (OFFICIAL VIDEO)



"Friday" is a song written by Clarence Jey and Patrice Wilson, and performed by Rebecca Black, a 13-year-old American singer. It was released as a single on March 14, 2011.[2] "Friday" was produced by the Ark Music Factory, a company owned by Jey and Wilson.[3]
The music video for the song became a viral hit due to criticism of the song's lyrics, the use of Auto-Tune on Black's vocals, and the content of the video. On March 11, 2011, the video's view count on YouTube was
still about 4,000. As of April 11, 2011, it had over 98 million views, over 2 million comments, and over 1.9 million "dislikes" from YouTube users.[4] Since the growth in popularity of the song and video, there have been numerous parody videos and remixes.[5][6] Forbes stated that the notoriety of the song is another sign of the power of social media – specifically Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr, in this instance – in the ability to create "overnight sensations."[7][8] Despite the scathing reviews, pop music celebrities Chris Brown, Miley Cyrus, and Simon Cowell have supported Black.

Mexico's drug war

Mexico's drug war Mass graves. Dismembered corpses. Entire towns besieged. Macabre visions grow in depravity as the drug war in Mexico drags on. Since President Felipe Calderon began using the army to contain the violence four years ago, rival gangs have escalated their turf battles over smuggling routes, and 35,000 lives have been lost, half of those in just the three northern states of Chihuahua, Tamaulipas and Sinaloa. The drug criminals have expanded their shadow by intimidating police forces, using kidnapping and extortion, trafficking migrants, and even pirating oil from Mexico's national oil company, Pemex. Of course, calling this issue "Mexico's drug war" is inadequate.
