YouTube Celeb Tay Zonday Goes Commercial With Dr. Pepper

Dr. Pepper hooked up with YouTube celeb Tay Zonday to recreate his famed Chocolate Rain video to promote its new Cherry Chocolate drink. The new video is as goofy as the original but it’s climbing the video charts fast. Currently, is resting in the number one slot over at Viral Video Chart. Whether or not it reaches the original’s 12 million views is unclear at this point but we’re guessing he’s happy with the paycheck he got from Dr. Pepper.

The new video also features Mista Johnson aka Felonious Monk and an army of dancing booty babes. Since its debut November 28, the video has 566,000 views on YouTube. Thankfully, it’s half the length of the maddeningly repetitive original.

Nobody talks about why so many retired people suddenly care deeply about things that seem trivial – the garden, the bird feeder, the perfect sourdough – but psychologists say these aren’t hobbies, they’re the first projects in decades where the only metric of success is personal satisfaction

Psychology says parents who feel unloved by their adult children are often actually deeply loved — but they’re measuring love by the standards of dependent childhood rather than the autonomy of adulthood

People who prefer eating alone at restaurants aren’t lonely. They discovered that solitude in a public place is one of the few spaces where you can exist without performing, and once you find that, a table for one stops feeling like something that needs explaining.
