Delete nn youtube video; even if one magazine rated it one of the 25 funniest- are the other 24 also notable - and the local news that some teenagers were arrested for emulating the antics of the video doesn't make it notable, unless we get consider that any time someone gets arrested and points to something as their influence for their actions suddenly the influence establishes notability - then most crooks' parents are notable because nearly always somehow the parents get blamed by someone for something.

Keep. Rolling Stone magazine is a reliable source and a major magazine regarding popular culture and therefore establishes the notability of this topic. Further, the incident with the teenagers in Utah achieved national prominence by numerous reliable sources including AOL News, MSNBC, Deseret News, CNBC, Associated Press, CNS News, Chicago Sun-Times, CBS News, The Boston Globe and many other reliable sources Given the overwhelming number of reliable sources which have covered this topic, our article clearly meets notability standards.

 * Delete. Totally non notable web video made no more notable by a group of idiots "performing" it in a McD's drive through. No evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources. I'm sure it's hilarious, but we don't have an article on every amusing YouTube video, nor should we. HJMitchell    You rang?   03:02, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Interesting arguments put forth by the nominator, but I'm endorsing deletion for a different reason: WP:NOTNEWS.  JBsupreme (talk) 09:13, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
