Planking, Tebowing and Gangam Style have all been shoved to the side by the breakneck pace of the Internet fads, this time for Harlem Style.
Crimson Chaos, a student-run organization supporting Alabama athletics other than football (most notably basketball, like these guys), joined the fad by filming this video in the first half of Alabama’s 68-58 win over South Carolina (relive Daily Bama Blog coverage of the win by clicking here).
I will reserve comment and revert back to my previous thoughts on the situation.
I think I’m witnessing my first ever Harlem Shake. I think. I’m so confused.

In a further update, some University students tried to organize a campus-wide filming of the Harlem Shake to take place on the steps of Gorgas Library on the Quad at 4 pm on Monday, but were shut down by UAPD.
Cops just showed up to Gorgas and unplugged the music. #HarlemShake

UA Cops spoke with Radfar for half an hour before asking him to begin dismissing the crowd. #HarlemShake
