Viral Oddity

This terrifying video here is currently topping the viral video charts.  Last week it was sitting at 1,043,538 week views.

What I see here is more a normal commercial.  This is not really what a viral video is about.  You don’t just make a commercial and pop it up on Youtube.  Viral videos are a diffierent medium, a medium that allows different kinds of advertising, not the traditional commercial.  A viral video should either be a really cool video that somehow relates to your product or a video that people spend weeks trying to figure out because it didn’t directly mention your product.

Obviously my complaining doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things.  The video is doing it’s job and getting around.  Heck I just posted it and have helped them out even more.

What I’m trying to say is… I don’t like rollerskating babies and I don’t understand why this is so popular.  I guess I’m the weird one.
