Ford Edge Driver Rear-Ends Man in PetSmart Parking Lot. Here's What to Do if Someone Starts Filming You After an Accident
Dealing with a car accident is never an enjoyable experience. But what should you do if the person starts filming for online content? Diesel (@diesel_2fast2quick) recently made a post in which he apparently exaggerated his injuries after a woman in a Ford Edge backed into his truck in a PetSmart parking lot.

Diesel says, laughing, as he begins to film. The woman appears displeased with being recorded. 'C'mon what is this?' she says. Diesel raises his voice, saying over and over, 'My back is hurt! Oh god, my neck.' Neither vehicle appears to have any visible damage in his video. It is possible that there is damage that doesn't show up on camera, but it appears to be minor at best. Diesel nevertheless leaned into the injured neck and back trope. In a comment on his post, which appears to have been made in jest, he wrote, 'I'm currently in a full body cast.' What to Do if Someone Starts Recording You Being filmed in public can be uncomfortable, especially if the person recording you didn't ask for permission. Almost no one wants to unwillingly become the star of someone else's viral video. But generally speaking, it is legal to record people in public. The American Civil Liberties Union reports that people have the right to film in public places. If in private, you have to ask permission. PetSmart is a privately owned company, but it's open to the public. Staff there could technically ask Diesel to leave, but it's unlikely the woman has the right to ask him to stop filming. Most states broadly allow people to record at establishments that are open to the public, so long as there is no reasonable expectation of privacy, such as in the bathroom or shower. So while Diesel may have annoyed the Ford Edge driver, it's unlikely he did anything wrong. Trending Now 'Why I Hate New Cars': Man Tries to Replace a Headlight Bulb on His 2022 Toyota Corolla. Then He Learns Something Unexpected 'I'm Not [an] Expert:' Man Gets in a Honda Civic. Then It Starts Making This Mystery Noise When He Puts It in Reverse Here are a few things you can do when someone starts filming you in a public space: Stay calm and focused; Film them as well; Ask them to stop filming if uncomfortable; Avoid confrontation; and Call the police if necessary to mediate. The main thing is to keep tension low to avoid conflict. It kind of makes sense to record after a car crash. Being in an accident can easily raise emotions and cause people to lash out. Fistfights and other acts of violence often occur after car accidents. Your video can also serve as a record of the weather, traffic, injuries, and condition of the vehicle(s) after an accident and provide evidence for all parties. Is This an Example of 'Clip Farming?' Many content creators do something known as ' clip farming ' in the hopes of going viral. Clip farming is the practice of exploiting a situation for the purpose of generating viral clips, often with the intention of gaining online attention and popularity. Tactics include intentionally being funny and over exaggerating moments to increase the chance of going viral. One person accused Diesel of doing just that, writing, 'Bro probably ain't even want the insurance details he just wanted to clip farm.' Others weren't concerned about how Diesel got the content, they just thought it was funny. 'Lmao bro earned a follow,' one said. Many piled on to the joke, making comments like 'OUR back is hurt' and 'Praying for [a] fast check, I mean recovery.' Diesel is fully committed to the apparent bit. He told Motor1 , 'Yes she came flying in like Ricky Bobby my head hit the windshield and I got badly injured. I'm in a full body cast and my neck and back is broken.' His TikTok has 440,000 views as of this writing.

Mom and Daughter Play With Balloon—Then Their 82lb Doberman Gets Involved
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A lively Doberman pinscher named Diesel has won hearts across Instagram after a video of him interrupting a mother-daughter balloon game in a hilarious way went viral on the platform. In the clip, shared on Tuesday under the username @diesel_dobie, the poster, Hanny Thomas, and her daughter, from Palm Springs, California, can be seen playing back and forth with a balloon when Diesel decides it's time to get involved. The enthusiastic pup charges at the balloon with the strength of his 82lb body, fatally pawing the balloon, which he eventually ends up popping. "This is the fun you get when you live with an 82 lbs kid," reads layover text in the clip. The poster adds in the caption: "Balloons don't stand a chance around here. Wasabi in the background just taking all in what is going on here." Screenshots of the viral clip show Diesel and his owner, Hanny, playing with a balloon in their living room.

"His energy and happiness bring so much joy to our lives. I just want to encourage fellow pet owners to get their dog involved in fun activities as much as possible. They truly love being included—it means the world to them," she said. Doberman pinschers are strong, agile dogs, known for their intelligence and loyalty. But did you know that they were bred on purpose, as safety dogs? In the late19th-century, German entrepreneur and tax collector Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann decided to breed the perfect dog to keep him safe while doing his job, which at the time came with some risks. While it is not certain what breeds were used to achieve this extraordinary canine, the American Kennel Club suggests that they may have used the intelligence, biddability, and stamina of a German shepherd; the strength of the Rottweiler; the pluck and speed of the German pinscher; and the scent ability of the Weimaraner. The video quickly went viral on social media and it has so far received over 57,600 views and 3,264 likes. One user, Dragonfire4evr, commented: "He's having so much fun!" said: "We love playing this game, gets intense." Filiuk.l added: "His fur is so shiny i feel like i need this hair care."

Vaibhav: I consider myself a mass hero
Chennai City Gangsters also stars Bigg Boss Tamil-fame Manikanda Rajesh in his first full-fledged role after the show. "As a newcomer, I couldn't have asked for a better film to get an entry into cinema. I would constantly observe and learn from Anandaraj, Sunil, Vaibhav, and others. I lived every moment of it. Honestly, I was quite scared during my first scene, but Vaibhav was encouraging, and I felt welcomed," he says, underlining that the experience boosted his confidence. Talking about how her approach to acting was influenced by working with talented filmmaker-actors like Samuthirakani, Suseenthiran, Mysskin, and Sasikumar, Athulya says, "Each of these directors brought a unique flavour to the films. I wasn't aware of how to explore scripts as I was a newcomer when I had the opportunity to work with these veterans, but now I dig deep into how these filmmakers write each scene and what they have in mind while writing it. As a result, I've approached both my upcoming films, Diesel and Mr X, differently," she says.

Italian fashion group OTB opens subsidiary in Mexico
OTB has stepped up a gear in Latin America. The Italian fashion group, owner of denim label Diesel and of luxury labels like Viktor & Rolf and Maison Margiela, has set up a subsidiary in Mexico in order to consolidate its presence 'in another major North American country, besides the USA and Canada,' as OTB stated in a press release. In 2024, OTB created a corporate entity in the country's capital, Mexico City, the focus of its local operations and main investments. The newly created company's goal is to oversee the operations and direct retail expansion in Mexico of the Diesel, Jil Sander, Marni and Maison Margiela labels, including the latter's contemporary line, MM6. OTB has also inked a partnership deal with luxury department store chain El Palacio de Hierro, a household name in Mexico, a group that is over a century old and owns 31 stores. OTB is keen to expand in states like 'Guadalajara, Monterrey, León, Cancún, Puebla and Querétaro, by opening monobrand stores and concessions.' In Mexico, it's aiming to grow its online and offline retail footprint, and to intensify its marketing activity. The group is set to open approximately 50 new stores in the next five years, 15 of them scheduled in 2025. In 2024, OTB generated revenue of €1.8 billion, down 5.2%. Its sales in Asia slumped, except for Japan, but they grew by 13.3% in North America. Establishing a corporate presence in Mexico is proof of OTB's desire to find new markets, while maintaining its momentum in regions where its performance is stronger. OTB has struck a joint-venture deal with the Chalhoub group in the Middle East, where it is already present, to step up the pace of its retail expansion in the region. 'Mexico is an influential creative and cultural country with its own distinctive style and vibrancy. Establishing a direct presence for our group in the region is a key step in the growth path of our brands, and in building a closer, more authentic connection with local customers and this amazing country,' said Rosso, founder and president of OTB.
