The viral #InMyFeelings challenge, in which people bop along to the catchy Drake song of the same name has peaked, and not in a good way.

Anna Worden, an 18-year-old dancer, was rushed to the hospital after attempting the challenge out of a slowly moving vehicle and fell.





What started out as a viral dance craze with celebrities like Ciara and Will Smith participating in the stunt, also called the "Keke" challenge, became increasingly treacherous with every posting that began incorporating daredevil-like elements like dancing alongside a car in motion.


Here's an example:



Anna, who is from Bettendorf, Iowa, tried to do what many others have tried before her, but things took a near-fatal turn.

She recalled very little of the moment with CBS News.

We were over by the round-about, and I thought it would be a fun idea to do the 'Kiki Challenge,'
The last thing I remember was opening the door. So apparently I got out and tripped and fell and hit my head

Anna was unconscious as she was airlifted to the nearest hospital in Iowa City. She suffered a skull fracture, blood clots in her ear, and bleeding in her brain.




Her father, Mike Worden, feared the worst.

I had five minutes to give her a kiss and not know what was going to happen. I will always remember that.

After regaining consciousness in the ICU, she came to the sudden realization of what brought her there.

That's when it hit me like 'Wow, I'm actually in the University of Iowa hospitals because I tried to do some little challenge everyone's doing now, and I'm the one that got majorly hurt.


There are many videos posted where the challenge goes wrong, including one featuring an amateur stuntman who got hit by the car he was trying to jump onto.

The National Transportation Safety Board tweeted their stern warning about the dangers of performing the challenge.


Anna, who recently graduated from Pleasant Valley High School and had been a dancer all her life, is re-learning how to walk again. And now she's using her unfortunate accident as a warning to others.

Be more careful about the challenges and fads that you see that are going around. It may seem fun, and it may seem like it's easy, but at the same time they could be so dangerous.



Anna is lucky. She survived. This is a strong reminder that not all viral challenges are worth taking on for the sake of accumulating likes.

Anna has unfortunately joined a growing list of people doing the challenge for internet popularity, including this Florida man...


...this Punjabi woman...


...and, in much happier news, this dog.

Elon Musk Offers Awkward Reaction After Spending Nearly Half A Billion Dollars On Losing Republicans

Trillionaire X owner Elon Musk offered an awkward reaction after spending nearly $474 million on Republican candidates, many of whom lost on Election Night.

Musk’s political spending is expected to climb beyond the $474 million reported so far, since contributions made after October 14 have not yet been included in the tally. Of the amount currently documented, $216 million was directed to his own super PAC, America PAC, including $212 million earmarked for Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton.

The trouble began on November 3, when Minaj celebrated the midterm elections by sharing an AI-generated image of Chucky wearing pink and a “Vote Red” sticker.

Gynecologists Are Weighing In With Hilarious Warnings Due To Overwhelming 'Wicker' Thirst

Wicker has been in theaters for a couple of weeks now and it's causing quite a stir. The quirky romantic fantasy stars Alexander Skarsgård as a man made entirely from wicker and Olivia Colman as the lonely fisherwoman who grows so tired of her town's ridicule that she commissions the local basketmaker (Peter Dinklage) to weave her a husband.

Despite the film's romantic subtext and its pushback against social norms, much of the online chatter has focused on the more intimate moments. And people are wondering how complete Skarsgård's costume was, particularly the appendage that made those sexy scenes memorable.

Whew! How 'bout those midterms, huh? Just blow after blow and shock after shock dealt to the Republicans of the country—and nowhere more intensely than in Texas.

Texas is arguably the story of the midterms, a state that hasn't gone blue in decades and hasn't been won by a Democratic Presidential candidate since 1976.
