F


Nothing is going to stop you from recording your own Factory of Sadness video.

Nothing.

You convince your friend to video you as you attempt to recreate Mike Polk's video.  You climb on top of a snow drift and start your rant about your beloved teams.

While in your mind, your video was witty, funny and flat out awesome, the reality is very different.  The end result was actually a sobbing mess (maybe those extra adult beverages weren't the best idea after all), that was punctuated with wildly flailing arms and you losing your balance and face planting in the snow.

Your video is posted to YouTube and picked up by Deadspin before you make it back to the car.

By the time you get home, you have texts and emails from friends, coworkers and a concerned grandma. Two days later, your video has gone viral and now kids are "face planting" - posting videos of themselves crying and flopping in the snow.
