Has anyone here in Thailand taken up the "running man challenge"? I imagine there are many groups here that could put on quite a show, perhaps even the Bangkok metropolitan police. Let us know on our Facebook page if anyone posts a video clip.
Kiwi cops' 'running man' video goes viral
AFP – A New Zealand police video of cops performing the latest "running man" Internet craze has gone viral, attracting millions of hits and prompting a response in kind from the New York Police Department.
The running man challenge is a social media craze in which people video themselves dancing to the 1990s hit My Boo by the Ghost Town DJs, and challenge others to do the same.
The 37-second video of North Island police performing the dance in an Auckland carpark was posted Tuesday on the force's Facebook page www.facebook.com/NZPoliceRecruitment.
In less than 24 hours it had 4.8 million hits, more than the entire population of New Zealand.
"It's about showing police having fun and building trust and confidence," said spokeswoman Shelley Nahr, who helped organise the video.
"Most of the staff in the video were either at a training day or came in on their day off to help."
