    Sam Pepper ’s ‘KILLING BEST FRIEND PRANK’ is one of the most outrageous video you’ll see on YouTube today and here’s why!

    YouTube star and the ex-Big brother contestant Sam Pepper has been making headlines of late for reasons that cannot be explained. In his recent video ‘Killing best friend prank’, Sam Pepper took pranking to a whole new level with two teenage best friends named Sam and Colby who have been together for 5 years.

    Unfortunately Sam has been targeted in the video and little did he know that the entire prank would change his life forever. This video has caused a lot of outrage on the Internet but we’ll get to that later. Let’s have a look at the video first.

     
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBvX5dNdMK8

     

    After watching this video, the Twitterati went berserk, appealing (almost threatening) to Sam Pepper to take down the video from his YouTube channel.

    Here are a few of them.

    And the list can go on…

    Later the hacker group Anonymous joined the bandwagon and here’s what they said. 

    Also, concluding the story was a petition for YouTube created by Kaylee-Jade Davis on Change.org requesting people to sign up to have the video deleted from YouTube. The petition has over 1,43,000 supporters already!

     
     
     

  • Have you ever had the chance to say goodbye to someone for one last time? Here’s how it feels like!

    Have you ever had the chance to say goodbye to someone for one last time? Here’s how it feels like!

    Have you had the chance to say goodbye to somebody you love/loved or felt remotely attached to, for one last time? We bet its heart-wrenching! Something so awful (especially if you’re on the losing end) that it makes you want to choke on your own tears and let all the pain slide away! Too dramatic?!? We bet you’d feel differently after reading this article.

    So, the micro-blogging website Tumblr did something extremely thoughtful and we’re still reaching out for the tissues **wipes tears**

    We recently came across this thread called ‘thelastmessagereceived’ on the site that’s full of heartbreaking posts from users that have submitted the last message they received from their loved ones (not just their partners). Boy oh boy, this is something you don’t encounter every day. Take a look.

    PS – The images below could be too graphic (emotionally) and are not meant for the weak-hearted. Therefore, read at your own risk.

  • The legendary Adele & Jimmy Fallon go back to Kindergarten to sing ‘Hello’ and we’re amazed!

    The legendary Adele & Jimmy Fallon go back to Kindergarten to sing ‘Hello’ and we’re amazed!

    The gorgeous Brit singer, Adele, never fails to make us fall in love with her voice and her music. And this time she took things to a whole new level. Yes, our very favourite Adele teamed up with the American television host Jimmy Fallon to perform or rather re-create a new version of her recent track ‘Hello’.

    Also, collaborating with ‘The Roots’, the English singer used children’s classroom instruments ONLY to give a background score for the track and let’s just say, it’s as good as the original one.

    The thing that makes this video hilarious is when Adele pulls out a plastic flip phone (just like the one she used in her original video) in the middle of her performance and starts singing on it. LOL!

    PS – The guy holding a banana shaker on the right isn’t something we’d miss out on either. Take a look!

  • Things to know about the wild card entry Priya Malik before forming an opinion about her on Bigg Boss!

    Things to know about the wild card entry Priya Malik before forming an opinion about her on Bigg Boss!

    We all know that Priya Malik is ready for her stint on the 9th edition of Bigg Boss in India and to be very honest we are looking forward it. Being regular Bigg Boss fans, we hate to admit that this season is just not making the cut. Maybe this wild card entry will make things a little wild and make the show interesting. But before you watch her on your telly tonight, here are few fun facts about her life that you might want to just keep at the back of your head.

    1. Priya Malik’s claim to fame was the 2014 edition of Big Brother Australia where she was one of the finalists.

    2. She is an English (Hons) graduate from Delhi University and belongs to Dehradun, India.

    3. Priya Malik moved on to pursuing her higher education in Australia where she was a teacher before featuring on the show.

    4. Priya faced a lot of racist and sexist remarks by the viewers of Big Brother Australia. People wrote some really nasty sh*t about her on social media but that did not break her spirit.

    5. Priya Malik is expected to take the BiggBoss’s inmates down and whoop their a**es! She has, reportedly, openly accused Kishwar of being a bully.

    6. Priya is also famous for being a stand-up comedian in the Australian ‘Adelaide comedy’ circuit. Well, it’s safe to assume that she’s a complete package of bitchiness combined with fun!

    7. The woman is strong headed and already has a list of people she dislikes in the BiggBoss house.

    Happy World Toilet Day everyone! Let’s take a look at some of the most exquisite/funky toilets from all around the world.

    Hey, it’s the World Toilet Day today!

    Yes, 19th November every year is marked as the World Toilet Day and it has been there for over a decade now. Aiming to motivate and mobilize millions around the world on issues of sanitation, the recognition of this day is crucial especially for India where many are deprived (and sometimes not aware) of good sanitation standards when it comes to using restrooms.

    According to the United Nations, 2.4 billion people around the world don’t have access to decent lavatory sanitation and more than a billion are forced to do their ‘do’s’ in the open. Well that isn’t very cool. There’s a lot that we can do as citizens of the country and contribute in whichever way possible to fund/help those in need.

    Now, with a lighter perspective, let’s take a look at some of the most exquisite/funky toilets from all around the world in respect for the World Toilet Day.

    Well, we are surely looking forward to this movie, but…but but BUT here’s something about the Indian actor Varun Dhawan and how he’s related to the movie.

    Dave Bautista apparently released a video challenging Dhawan to a fitness pull-up challenge.

  • US missiles with message, “From Paris, with love” are the strangest ‘gift’ ISIS would ever expect!

    US missiles with message, “From Paris, with love” are the strangest ‘gift’ ISIS would ever expect!

    The recent attack in Paris was declared as ‘an act of war’ by the French President Francoise Hollande as he spoke about the tragedy that killed over 129 innocent people in the French capital.

    However, giving it back to the Islamic militant group ‘ISIS’ were the French airstrikes on Raqqa that destroyed a key ISIS command centre and many training facilities within the a few days following the Paris attack.

    What followed was something that has been making rounds on social media and the Internet as the US military expressed solidarity with France through messages that said “From Paris, with love” on their missiles destined for Syria. Some say that these images may have been photo-shopped but nevertheless, people have been sharing them with the world expressing unity with the US army and the battle against ISIS. Take a look.

  • How would you survive in the big city if you were a stray dog? – This video game nails it perfectly!

    How would you survive in the big city if you were a stray dog? – This video game nails it perfectly!

    “You are a dog lost in a randomly generated city. Looking for food. Looking for friends. Looking for home” – is exactly what Kevin Cancienne’s upcoming video game ‘Home Free’ is all about.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTRhbVa4tXQ

    This video game creator has taken creativity to an entirely new level and we’re nothing but impressed.

    Conceptualising an open-world survival video game that’s supposed to come out somewhere in 2016, Kevin Cancienne thought of a virtual world where you’re a homeless dog roaming the streets of a city and you need to find your way around with the cruelties of life.

    Inpost img-1

    The video game creator hoped to raise an amount of USD 50,000 on Kickstarter.com to commence this project and just look at where he is now – Yes, Cancienne has successfully raised USD 98,328 as of 6th November 2015. Boy, now that’s some moolah coming his way for an extremely thoughtful project that is aimed to inculcate the feelings of empathy and respect for these little furry babies.

    Inpost img-2

    Kevin Cancienne also ran a campaign on Twitter with the hashtag #homefreemydog asking users from all around the world to share pictures of their dogs that maybe used in the video game. Needless to say, he received a massive response on the social networking website and dog lovers the world over among others can’t wait for this game to be out with of the 6 dogs that have been shortlisted already.

  • We still haven’t seen a cooler way to find a roommate! Must see how Hugh Podmore broke the Internet and is still on it.

    We still haven’t seen a cooler way to find a roommate! Must see how Hugh Podmore broke the Internet and is still on it.

    So it all started about two years ago when a twenty-something guy named Hugh Podmore decided to move to Toronto from downtown Montreal. His uber creative efforts in looking for a roommate caused a stir on the Internet and we just couldn’t stop ourselves from reaching out for tissues (in a good way).

    For those who don’t know what we’re talking about, here’s how it all started. 

    Taking a series of pictures with a whiteboard and a camera, Hugh Podmore created and shared a photo album on image-sharing website Imgur stating his qualities and what he is looking for in a roommate.

    Here’s what the album named ‘I WANT TO LIVE IN YOUR HOUSE! (But not in a weird way)’ looked like.

  • 10 serious Diwali cards parties ’ commandments you should follow this season!

    10 serious Diwali cards parties ’ commandments you should follow this season!

    The best time of the year, we mean Diwali, is here and we just cannot hold the excitement in! Most of us have already started planning the Diwali cards parties we’d be hosting and attending through the next couple of weeks and are anticipating only fun! However to get the most out of these Diwali cards parties, there are some rules one must follow. Take a look at ten serious Diwali parties’ commandments you should follow this season!


    Diwali

     

    1. Thou shalt dress up for the occasion.

    Be in your best Indian wear when you’re going for Diwali parties. It doesn’t matter if the party is at your best friend’s house or in your own den. It’s not every day you get to attend a festive gathering with your loved ones.

    2. Thou shalt not go empty handed to your mate’s house.

    Well, not like your friend who is the organiser is expecting his guests to get him goodies; but it’s just a bad thing to go to a house party empty handed. Take a bottle of wine or champagne. Or if you want to refrain from getting alcohol, simply get a box of sweets or chocolates and you’re sorted.

    3. Thou shalt reach on time for the party.

    Understand this – someone made all the efforts of organising a party. From setting up the place to arranging the food and drinks, they’ve done it all. In such a scenario, you just have to show up! The least you can do is appreciate his efforts and show up on time.

    4. Thou shalt hold your drinks.

    Yay! Who doesn’t like free alcohol? But remember, it’s a social gathering where your main motive should include celebrating the festive spirit with your loved ones (and of course winning some money at the end of the day). And for this reason, we’d advise you to hold your drinks and not be the first one to get hammered losing all control of your mind and body.

    5. Thou shalt be a sport (even if you don’t gamble).

    Don’t be a party pooper. If you don’t know how to play, it’s absolutely fine. Just make sure that you’re a part of the game in the right spirit and encourage people around you to play better.

    6. Thou shalt understand the rules of the game before placing your bet!

    Everybody makes rookie mistakes while playing especially when there’s alcohol involved. Play smart and play safe, which is all you need to concentrate on.

    7. Thou shalt (under no circumstances) play unfair.

    The easiest thing to do while playing Teen Patti (or any other game) is to be unfair to your mates. Peeping into their cards or being unfair with money should NOT be a part of your agenda for the night! That’s plain wrong! Period.

    8. Thou shalt not give up (even after losing multiple times).

    Everybody loses at some point in life. Then how’s playing cards any different? Keep going until you realise that luck isn’t in your favour for the night and you’ve probably ran out of all your money.

    9. Thou shalt not fight with your mates over petty issues in the game.

    Diwali card parties are all about celebrating the festive spirit. We bet it is the best time of the year for a lot of people and in the same spirit, do not….we repeat DO NOT create a scene at the party over petty issues. No one wants drama at an event that’s supposed to be fun and exciting.

    10. Thou shalt stay away from your mobile phones and other electronic items to enjoy the real party!

    Your social media updates can wait. Live the moment rather than being stuck to your cell phones and laptops.

    There! You’re now a pro when it comes to attending/hosting Diwali parties.

    And on this note, Team Trendspotters TV wishes all you beautiful people out there a very Happy festive season! Stay awesome.

    Adele’s ‘Hello’ goes viral and we can’t stop tripping on its meme! Watch now!

    British singer and songwriter Adele is back with her new video ‘Hello’ and we absolutely love it! But, let’s admit it – her song only reminds us of the famous track from the 80’s by Lionel Richie with the same name. Well that’s a co-incidence.

    This Brit beauty looks fabulous as ever in her video and is now making rounds on the Internet with over 30 million views already! Here, let’s listen to the track once.


    And now, here’s something that MIGHT just make you fall off your chair. Take a look at Lionel Richie’s perfect reply (read heartbreak) to the song (thank you BlendTV).

  • DIY: Add these moustache motifs to your plain white T-shirt

    DIY: Add these moustache motifs to your plain white T-shirt

    Plain white t-shirt has been in trend lately and is considered to be one of the basic essentials in your wardrobe. It is chic yet comfortable at the same time. If you have been wearing your white tee for a very long time, it’s the right time to revamp it. Watch this DIY tutorial and add these moustache motifs to your plain white T-shirt.

    Take a look at these steps:

    Take the craft paper and fold it in half. Draw half a moustache on the paper as shown in picture and use a pair of scissors to cut out the shape.

    Moustache story-01

    Take the potato and cut it into two pieces. Place the moustache stencil on the surface of the potato and use the knife to carve out the shape like in the picture.

    Moustache story-02

    Apply some black acrylic paint on the potato stamp and dab it on a rough piece of cloth (to try the layout). Once you are happy with the print, repeat the process on your t-shirt. Place the cardboard in between your t-shirt so the paint won’t transfer to the other side

    Moustache story-03

    Let it dry for some time and voila!
