As if the internet weren't stupid enough, this is happening right now. And shit is getting deep:



"Harlem Shake" is the new "Gangnam Style," for those of you not living solely on the web. And Banks clearly wanted to be a part of all this attention. As you may know, she's already survived a Twitter war with Hilton, which now appears to be back on, with political tweets like:



She's a sweetie, no? Anyway, here's her version "Harlem Shake." Our advice: She should re-write it as a Perez Hilton diss track. Huh? Good idea, right? Internet gold!
