Put Shoe on Head is a fad which spawned on 10:00 PM, June 21, 2006 by the YTMND Ventrilo Server crew. After heat died down on a proposed raid on "The Resistance" (a Neo-Nazi / White Supremacy site), some ventrilo users (which included several 4chan members) decided to raid LiveJasmine, a porn website based around live and private webcam shows using Macromedia Flash. These raids consisted of flooding performers rooms with ytmnd users and harassing them using the built in chat box provided for each performer. The first milestone was getting a performer to pick up their keyboard and show it on screen (which several did). This "Put X On Y" style of harassment eventually turned to "Put Shoe On Head" (the blunt and fragmented sentence seemed to have a stronger effect). The first performer to even understand the "put shoe on head" requests was Sharissa (most other performers either putting their feet on screen or simply left their room), and after much confusion, she took off her shoe and put it on her head! The original site featured a screen captured by the ytmnd user FlyingLaserJesus (seen as "flj" in the livejasmine chat window), and was pared with a poor cropped sound bite, but was later updated. While he was undoubtedly not the only person to make a screen capture of the event, he was the first to consider making it into a ytmnd. An animated version was captured by the YTMND user ProfessorBooty, and was released shortly after the original (they both used the same music).

After the sites initial creation and success, the site was shown to Sharissa, and she appeared to be both confused but still amused by the site and the interest ytmnders had taken in her. Sharissa admitted to many users that she was Russian and lived in Russia (though "not soviet anymore").


As of June 25th, there are many "Put Shoe on Head" YTMNDs with users asking different LiveJasmine performers to put various objects on their heads. As of this time, it is believed that the administrators of LiveJasmine are threatening legal action against YTMND for the unauthorized use of its materials and provoking its agents. However, the legal threat has only been made through a forum post and there are certain errors with the post that make its integrity questionable. The Shoe On Head fad has essentially died as of June 27th, 2006.


The theme music for this fad is "The Vengabus (We Like to Party)", of Six Flags fame. We Like To Party's link with racist content or other forums of subtle racism is not used in connection with the shoe on head fad, and was simply chosen by the original creator as "something that fit".
