"FlipTop encourages people to bully each other for cheap laughs," said Dr. Raymond Alto, one of the psychologists consulted by the city. "If a child sees a video and thinks it's okay to make fun of your peers, be it their appearance or manner of speaking, then our future is doomed," added Alto.

The FlipTop Battle League is recognized as the first of its incarnation in the Philippines. Its growth was spearheaded by Anygma, the host, and a roster of battle rappers. It rose to notoriety through YouTube and the usage of one-liners in its videos as a means of word-of-mouth promotion.

- Abra
- Loonie
- Bassilyo

- Dello

All of which were able to release albums and receive mainstream radio attention after their FlipTop videos reached a million views.

VATICAN - "The [Nae Nae] dance heavily resembles a 500 year old demonic ritual that was practiced to spawn Satan himself," says the Bishop of Rome and the Sovereign of the Vatican City.

Fox News (United States) caught up with the Pope in the Vatican today as he delivered his statement towards the LGBT community, divorce and legalization of marijuana as a recreational drug. Pope Francis was also asked to comment on the latest dance craze, the "Nae Nae" dance, to which he shook his head.

"This 'Nae Nae' dance you speak of, it's a form of Devil worship," the Pope told interviewer John Sly. Sly was shocked after the lighthearted question backfired. "It is what the Greek cultists used to do in their attempt to summon Satan and intercept the resurrection of the Holy Father's Son." He asked the devotees to not participate in the dance craze and save their peers from doom by stopping the viral hit from being shared.
