What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas.

A young Nevada boy’s encounter with a thirsty cop has become an unexpected viral video smash, as more than 3 million viewers have watched the YouTube video.

Jeremy Drew, 12, is seen questioning an unidentified Las Vegas Police Department officer who had apparently illegally parked his motorcycle on a sidewalk after purchasing a soft drink.

“Is there a reason for you to park on the sidewalk?” Drew asked. “Is it like an emergency or anything?”

After the officer declined to answer, the boy took his line of questioning further.

“Can I see your badge number?”

The officer then asks why, to which Drew replies: “Uh, because I have the right to.”

The officer replied: “You do? Are you a junior lawyer?”

“No, I just want to see your badge number,” Drew replies. “Uh, can I please see your badge number?”

The officer then rides away without providing his badge number, but not before asking the boy for identification.

“I’m a minor,” he replies. “I’m Jeremy Drew.”

The video, which was uploaded to YouTube in September, has been viewed nearly 3.5 million times.

Retail store mannequins have long been criticized for being too thin, not accurately reflecting the average female body.

Now, new mannequins in Sweden are getting buzz online for showcasing more womanly figures, Examiner.com reported.  A blogger for Women’s Rights News posted a photo of fuller-figured mannequins from a clothing store in Sweden, and the photo has since gone viral.

Rather than having extremely thin waists, arms and legs, the mannequins showcase a little thicker thighs, softer stomachs and a few extra pounds.  Not only that, but the plastic women are not covered up but are wearing skimpy lingerie.

Typically the average mannequin size in clothing and department stores is a four or six.  The average size for American women is 14.

It was previously reported that the mannequins were from a Swedish H&M store, but a spokesperson for H&M said the picture was not from one of their stores.

So far the picture has garnered more than 2,800 comments on Facebook and close to 16,500 shares.  Many of the commenters laud the photos for reflecting real female body types.  One commentator wrote:  “Finally, mannequins showing how clothes fit on real women. I'm changing where I shop!”
