Revenge Of The Garbage

Bin-men took their revenge on a driver who had blocked their way by stacking dozens of empty bins round the car.The incident was caught on camera and the footage is now a Youtube Hit.

The 62-second clip shows three men, each of them wearing a high-visibility jacket, dragging bins into the alleyway beside Stephenson Street, Horwich, near Bolton, Greater Manchester.

An accompanying narrative reads: “This shows Horwich Bin Men getting their own back on a car owner who has obstructed a back alley with their car.
“The bin men usually drive their van through this back alley to the next street and they are a bit annoyed they have to drive round via Chorley New Road, which is very busy.”
One local refuse collector claimed to be unaware of the incident but said: “These things do go on, but it is just a big of harmless fun.
“It can be frustrating when cars block the wagons, but the lads will have made sure they didn’t damage the vehicle in question”.
Officials at Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council believe the footage is at least four years old. They said they took such incidents “very seriously”.

Vuvuleza Videos

YouTube has capitalized on the World Cup vuvuzela craze by installing a button which plays the distinctive buzzing soundtrack over its clips. 
The button appears in the shape of a football on the bottom right hand corner below the screen. It allows fans of the controversial African plastic trumpet to overlay its sound on film clips of political events, animal capers and music videos, often to hilarious effect.

Among popular clips on the website which feature the new button is one of Prime Minister David Cameron’s speech on being voted into 10 Downing Street, and a USA vs England Lego match. A fist fight in the Nigerian parliament following the suspension of 11 legislators takes on an entirely new flavor thanks to the button, as do the antics of a group of baby panda bears on a slide and the sight of a giant spider crab shedding its shell. But the film clip to which the vuvuzela is best suited has to be US President Barack Obama’s duel to the death with a fly during a broadcast interview.
However, many technology blogs have reacted with despair to the website’s popularist move, which virtually drowns out the clips’ original soundtracks.
"YouTube always has had a way with pranks," Tech Crunch's Jason Kincaid wrote. "Clicking it will activate an endless, incredibly annoying sound that sounds vaguely like a swarm of insects."
"As if we haven’t been hearing the buzzing sound of vuvuzelas enough in the last couple of days, " Stan Schroeder said on social media blog.
"If you haven’t been following the football World Cup and you’re not familiar with the term, vuvuzela is a plastic horn that produces a loud monotone which starts getting on your nerves in about five seconds.”
