## Transcript

>> I'm Dan Fletcher with TIME's NewsFeed. Here's the top stories that were trending around the web this week. Justin Bieber, like every week, is dominating the trends. First story was because he got a tattoo. MTV uncovered these photos. Apparently, it was the same tattoo his dad and his uncle had, but it raised a lot of interesting questions. You know, " Can a 16- year- old get a tattoo ?", " Is this something that should be happening ?" There's also a video later in the week that a German TV station took of him running into a door, which was amusing. Glenn Beck was back in trends this week. He got an old altercation with Congressman Anthony Weiner.

Glenn Beck runs frequent advertisements for Gold Services during his broadcast and Anthony Weiner thought this was a problem. And actually just right now, Glenn Beck has launched a website to strike back. A video was really making buzz this week. It leaked out of a dance competition of a several six and seven- year- old girls, doing a dance to Beyonce's " All the single ladies ", but it was a raunchy performance, and again, it raised a lot of questions about what these mothers were letting their daughters do. One time Black Sabbath lead singer Ronnie James Dio died this week, which why do a lot of people around the web looking for information about him.

His wife replaced his main page with a link to his facebook profile, where she invited fans to post memorials. Facebook was back in trends this week with two sites. The first was called " Openbook ", which is a site that lets you search the publicly available status updates people are posting every minute. Now, you can search for phrases like " I hate my boss" or " I lost my virginity" and see what people are posting in real time, which is terrifying to know that that information is out there. And a lot of people, you know, every week, there are stories of someone who loses their job because of something they post on facebook.

Second facebook story was that Pakistan banned the popular social networking site along with youtube this week. There's a group on facebook yesterday that was called " Everyone Draw Muhammad Day ", and the Pakistan found this offensive, being primarily Muslim. And, it raised a lot of questions, you know, " How does facebook please its service ?", " How does facebook deal with things that may be, you know, religiously offensive or hate speech ?" And then, since the beginning of this year, searches had been-- have more than doubled for " How to delete your facebook ?" because it's really difficult to figure out.

In order to delete your facebook, you have to send a message to facebook support, and if you simply deactivate your facebook, all your information, all your photos, all your friends, all your status updates, stays online. And finally, I think the most fun thing of the week was an ad from an Alabama Agricultural Commission Race. It was by Republican Dale Peterson, and he created this really really fantastic ad, slamming his primary opponent. And, there's a horse--

>> Vehicle on Earth that supports such a dummy, and wah--

>> There's a gun.

>> Give me the Republican nomination for ad commission and I'll show Alabama we mean business.

>> And it's just really really funny. So, hats off to you Dale Peterson. I think you created, what we all agree, is the best campaign ad ever.
