Hold your West Side Story jokes, folks.  "Gangnam Style" has been all the rage of late, and all of the rage was released during a confrontation between two rival gangs in Bangkok after a dance competition inspired by the record-setting song. A bunch of juvies were hanging out in the city's Ekkamai neighborhood and began taunting an opposing gang. That's when sparks (and shots) began to fly.

Dancing soon gave way to violence, and one of the teens says members of one group returned at 6 a.m. and fired several shots into the air. More returned at 8 a.m. and over 50 shots were fired "in all directions." Luckily, no one was hurt, and local police are prepared to arrest everyone involved. Dancing is serious business, but shouldn't require a vest.
