This is incredible. If you ever need incentive to get up off the couch to get some exercise or if you ever find yourself saying I can't just turn on this video and get inspired!
Paddy Jones is a 75 year old British Grandmother who now lives in Spain. She appeared on "Tu Si Que Vales" with a local dance instructor named Nico, who is 40 years her junior, and performed a feat of crazy athleticism, regardless of age. Wearing a dark tight dress, she did a series of twists, flips, leaps, and slides that had the judges reacting with hilariously shocked expressions as she blew the crowd away (their faces alone are worth watching.) Jones and her partner received around $15,000 for their victory.
We shared this story with you on Georgia's Wake-Up Call. You may have never heard of Matt Zeisel....Matt, a teen with Down Syndrome, had longed to play in a football game, but never had a chance to get off the bench -- until his coach and the rival team agreed to give him the chance of a lifetime. At 5’3 and 110 pounds, Matt has spent much of the football season sitting on the bench, watching his teammates at St. Joseph Benton High School in Kansas City race across the field. Matt has Down Syndrome, and his doctors have said that it isn’t safe for him to get involved in contact sports, so, for his own good, his coach, Dan McCamy, has kept him on the sidelines. But at the game last week, Matt’s team was down by 46-0 when Coach McCamy had a bright idea. He called a time-out and went to ask the opposing team a question. He wanted to know if they would let one of his guys run in for a touchdown. The team quickly agreed to the coach’s request. Then, for the first time all season, Coach McCamy called in the "Matt Play." With Coach McCamy and his teammates’ urging, Matt jumped up off the bench and raced out to the field. He took hold of the football, and, as soon as the referee ended the time-out, he ran a full 60 yards from one end of the field to the other, throwing the ball down to score a 6-point touchdown. After cheering on Matt’s play, his teammates scooped him up for a big group hug. Coach McCamy posted a video of Matt’s touchdown on YouTube the next morning for his parents to see, and, since then, the heartwarming play has been watched more than 275,000 times.

Hey y'all is this You Tube Fake or You Tube For Real??? Anyway you look at it, it's cool to watch. Dude Perfect put this together. For every 100,000 views their Summer Camp edition clip receives, the guys will sponsor an impoverished child through an organization called Compassion International. and for every viewing of this video a donation is being made.
Turns out the official recipe for fun and the way to create an Internet sensation are the same: Start with a megacorporation, add in a group of Germans on a hillside, liberally take advantage of slick editing software and let the power of the Web do its thing.
