Rappers rehired

FOURTEEN American lifeguards fired after appearing in uniform at a city pool in a parody of Gangnam Style, the Korean pop music video that has been viewed hundreds of millions of times online, are getting their jobs back.

The city council in the Southern California town of El Monte voted to rehire them pending a management review at the aquatic centre, the SanGabrielValleyTribune reports.

The lifeguards’ parody of the video by Korean rapper Psy last month showed them in city- issued swimsuits dancing underwater and on diving boards at the pool.
