The humiliating clip was uploaded to Twitter by his friend, and has been seen thousands of times around the world.

Watchdog rules Yves Saint Laurent advert with very thin model was 'irresponsible'

This advert may be for a fashion house, but the first thing you notice about the model isn't her clothes - it's her worryingly frail figure. Promoting Yves Saint Laurent, the woman in a black dress and platform shoes lies artfully on the floor with her rib cage visible through her skin and astonishingly thin legs. The image, which appeared in Elle magazine, triggered a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority, which has ruled it was 'irresponsible'.

Angler Erik Axner celebrates hauling in this enormous 7ft halibut fish - by jumping in the water to pose for pictures with it.
Erik was on a fishing trip with friends Jonathan Jansson and Martin Bamberg when he hooked the mammoth halibut, the world's biggest species of flatfish.
The 24-year-old Swede fought the gigantic fish for over an hour before finally getting the better of it - and when he weighed it it tipped the scales at a whopping 16 stones.
Because the halibut was so huge it couldn't be pulled out of the water for photos - so Erik secured the halibut to the side of the boat using rope  and jumped in in his drysuit instead.

Erik Axner (pictured) was on a fishing trip with friends in waters off Norway's Lofoten Islands when he caught the enormous halibut - the world's biggest species of flatfish.

The way ads used to be: Classic campaigns by brands including Clarks, Vogue and Fiat show

The amusing and thought-provoking images used in a range of iconic adverts of yesteryear are being showcased to mark the roll call of print and television adverts created by Collett Dickenson Pearce during the industry's heyday - an era recently depicted in U.S television drama Mad Men. From brands such as Clarks (top left and bottom right) and Vogue (inset), to Fiat (top right) and Cinzano, the exhibition, entitled Outside: Collett Dickenson Pearce, includes the 1979 advert for The Strada car which uses the tagline 'Handbuilt by robots' (bottom left). Ironically, when Hugh Hudson arrived on set to film the TV commercial for the campaign, he had to navigate past picketers outside who were protesting against the so-called robots taking their jobs. Another advert show fierce Labour Party rivals Tony Benn and Denis Healey taking pictures of one other under the headline 'They obviously felt like shooting each other', a campaign used to promote an Olympus camera.
