World Star Hip-hop: making a bankable brand out of brutality

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/oct/18/worldstarhiphop-bankable-brand-brutality

What is it about:
A bus driver uppercut a woman and it reached a famous site called "World Star Hip Hop". It continues to say how powerful "world star hip hop" is and how far it viral the internet. People weren't trying to stop the fight yet, they were videoing so they could get there video on World Star Hip Hop.

My views:
The video is hilarious!!!! I actually started crying. But this is a prime example of "citizen journalism" where people take videos and upload them. But they gave it to WSHH because it's the one place where the video will definitely be showed to everyone. WSHH has been described as "The CNN of the Ghetto". Even though the man didnt need to go to such extremes, I still found it funny.
