REMEMBER TLC? OF course you do.
How could you forget stone cold classics like No Scrubs, Creep or, more importantly, Waterfalls?
Let’s remind ourselves of the latter, shall we?
Waterfalls was one of the biggest songs of 1995, spending seven weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and charting in the top five in various countries, including Ireland where it peaked at number 4.
As we all know, the chorus goes a little something like this:
Don’t go chasing waterfalls,Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to
Well, it seems a lot of people have misheard the lyric as “Don’t go Jason Waterfalls”.
No, really.
Whoops!

In October 2013, a Twitter user tweeted this and it was retweeted nearly 1,100 times.
And despite later clarifying that it was a joke, the original tweet has become an internet meme of sorts.
Whoops!

Since then a sort of Twitter culture has developed around just tweeting the misheard lyric.
Whoops!

According to Topsy, the phrase “Jason waterfalls” has been tweeted over 8,000 times in the last 30 days.
All together now:
Could the journal not just say ” stalking “
@martin byrne: it’s a quote from the WTA statement.
What do they mean by “fixated behaviour”. Was he looking at her or what.
@Ray Ridge: rumour has it, he was playing a little bit of tennis with his own tennis balls. His serve was a master stroke, and Emma was his opponent
Why wasn’t he arrested instead of kicking him out.
@Papa Kilo: Without wishing to make light of a potentially serious situation, for what exactly? The bloke who walked 23 miles to knock on her front door on the other hand….
@Justin Robinson: I’m sure Emma knows when she is being stalked. There is no need to second guess her intuition. If she felt unsafe then that is enough.
@Phil McCabe: let’s hope we don’t start banging people up on “intuition”, or “how she felt”
Whatever terminology was used is pure semantics. The poor girl was obviously in a very distressed state and needs to be taken seriously. Some of the comments here give the impression she was over reacting. There are a lot of freaks out there whose behaviour is deliberately borderline, in order to create the impression that there isn’t really anything going on. This is a shockingly sinister development and needs to be treated as such.
@Dave Campbell: the cynics probably too young to remember the what happened to Monica Seles
