Karen Klein has hit another milestone. The former Greece school bus monitor, who became famous because of a video about her being bullied by kids on the bus, is now on Time Magazine's "Top 10 Everything" 2012 list. In the list of the most viral videos, the video about Klein placed number three, behind the 'Gangnam Style ' video by a South Korean rapper at number two, and 'Kony', a documentary about a conflict in Uganda, which placed at number one. Time Magazine's article noted that people were so infuriated about what happened to Klein that the original effort to raise five thousand dollars for her grew to more than 700-thousand dollars. Klein, who has retired from her bus monitor job, has started an anti-bullying foundation. [MyDriveFM.com]
