Filed under: not every viral stunt needs a Pan-African argument attached to it.

Pitbull is attempting a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people in bald caps at London's BST Hyde Park, and is short on volunteers ahead of the attempt. A low-stakes entertainment story with no substantive African angle; noted here only because it's been circulating.
