Woman throws flour all over her furniture and blames it on her kids to make viral video

Wow, the length that some people will go to these days to "go viral" is getting more ridiculous by the day. So we have a woman who has thrown flour all over her living room, getting it on the couches, lampshades and picture frames. She then pretends to stumble upon her kids playing with an empty bag of flour and puts on her best acting job at being shocked and dismayed. Watch the video below:




Is what we've become people? All attention whores looking to be the next winner of the viral lottery? The woman, who goes by "mtmuzic" uploaded the video to youtube with the description:

Mommy was not feeling well and had to stay in the bathroom longer than usual during which my two boys, ages 1 and 3 took my new bag of flour out of the cupboard and destroyed my house. This is from ONE 5lb bag. Don't believe me? Hand a full bag to a 3 year old and see what happens.

Yeah sure lady, that must have been some major diarrhea shit you had going on there. So far the video has 2.3 million views so I suppose the woman can chalk this one up as a success, but isn't a bit weird for a mother to be using her kids like this?

She has since disabled the comments on the video (big surprise) but we were able to catch one left by "brunozi" who hit the nail right on the head:

"You should go see a psychiatrist, lady. You poured flour all over your own house just to make a YouTube video? Seriously, go see a doctor. I feel sorry for your kids having such a distraught mom."

Update: A friend of People Liking People has informed us that the woman is Mary Thompson, an amateur musician from Steubenville, Ohio. Her e-mail addresses are mtmuzic@yahoo.com and happilynapoli@yahoo.com, phone #s are 330-618-6211, 330-655-5438, and 586-246-7341.

Update 2: Thompson is her maiden name, she's now married to WADL Detroit TV employee Vince Napoli (phone # 440-835-0991) and assumes the name Mary Napoli. They now live in St. Claire Shores, Michigan. The family appeared on the Today show with Matt Lauer where she answered to accusations that it was a hoax just to get her 15 minutes of fame. This is looking to be very similar to the balloon boy hoax. Fortunately in this situation it hasn't wasted police resources, the only thing lost here is the Napoli's dignity.

Update 3: Vince Napoli threatens to fire us from the internet for posting his phone numbers, most of which were already public on his own websites. See the comments below and read more here.

FEMA Tests Emergency Alert System

Well the big test went down today for the Emergency Alert System, the first national test since the system was put in place years ago. According to the LA times, the emergency warning needs some fine tuning:

The first nationwide test of the emergency warning system failed to reach all television and radio stations in the country, but federal officials said they will make improvements.

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, called weaknesses in the system exposed by the test "unacceptable."

You know what we really need to do? Scrap the whole damn project. If we can't get a simple 30 second warning message right after years of planning and God knows how many millions of dollars - AND add to that the fact that we've never needed to use it, let's save ourselves the trouble and money and ditch it altogether. Television and Radio are quickly becoming irrelevant as more and more people stay connected to what's going on via the internet and wireless communication devices. This whole project was a nice idea but this is just another example of the government fucking something up which should be incredibly easy to pull off. And I really don't think the Soviets are going to be invading us any time soon. I'm not sure what we're preparing for anyways, wasn't the mission accomplished on the war on terror? We can all relax now, right?

In case you missed, here's a clip of the National Emergency Broadcast test from earlier today:



They couldn't get any higher quality audio, or video for that matter? What's with the static and the text that looks like a screenshot captured from a computer in the 80s? This is what we've been planning for years? This doesn't need tweaking, it needs to be scrapped. We evidently didn't need this alert system for the 9-11 terror attacks, and if anything comes along that's a bigger deal than that we'll no doubt hear about it from other sources. Thanks for trying though.
