Earlier last week, Emerson's grandfather Dave Helwig added the video to his work site Sootoday.com. He told us that "Both the Today Show and Good Morning America have been very persistent". Good Morning America plans to take Emerson's families to New York by airplane, and provides the family to live there for two nights, even to apply urgent passport for the family.

The video has made the family known to the world. Helwig told us that the family has received a lot of messages from viewers around the world. He said:"People just love the fact that for a minute their attention was turned from all the tragedy in the world to the innocence of a giggling little child."

Slow Loris with Tiny Umbrella Becomes New Favorite Internet Video

A video showing a bleary-eyed slow loris with a tiny umbrella now goes viral on YouTube and the Internet. You could use Leawo Free YouTube Downloader to download the video to your computer for sharing it with your friends.


The slow loris looks very cute in the video. Tamely sitting on a man's hand, the cute creature holds a tiny umbrella with its small 'hand' for about twenty seconds. It's the most adorable animal you may have seen these days.

However, a lot of people think that it's a sad video.

YouTube user 'elusis' commented the video that 'loris are endangered species. They are nocturnal - the light hurts their eyes. They usually have their sharpest teeth removed without anesthesia. They should not be kept as pets'.

Another YouTube user 'Deadflyte' commented that 'At all you people saying hes happy you are very ignorant, Slow loris are nocturnal and hide from the light because it hurts there eyes badly, Notice he is almost always squinting or has his eyes shut , this is animal abuse...'

Well, I agree with the above two YouTube users and hope that people should set the loris free and let them be back to the jungle and forest – their home.

YouTube Denies Movie Rental Service in Europe

YouTube movie rental serviceIf you're a YouTube fan, you may have heard that the video site is going to launch unlimited movie rental service in Europe, first in the UK before expanding the service to the US. This move by YouTube is considered to compete with Netflix and Amazon. However, YouTube has denied the plan.

A YouTube UK's office spokeman told Paidcontent that the video giant has no plan to expand its US-based movie rental service to Europe countries at the present. "Today, YouTube is focused on building out and improving its current US-based rental offering. While we aim to always push all of our products out globally to our community, we have no plans to launch a European rentals service in the near future", he said.

YouTube has always been making efforts to expand its service content. Last week, media reported that YouTube talks with NBA and NHL to stream live sports games. The movie rental service has already been available on the site in the US since last year.
