The madcap, breathtaking world of viral videos


"Viral Video" is the signature phenomenon of internet media. Something akin to pop songs, these videos with irresistible hooks have saturated video culture online and have now evolved into a multitude of sophisticated forms. Whether rooted in comedy, spectacle, schadenfreude, cuteness, politics, performance, or deep meaning, the idea of viral videos, and the huge audiences they generate, have forever changed the values and potential impact of video online.
An advertiser with a campaign.  An activist on a mission.  A YouTuber in a creative spin.  Whoever they may be, they end up with a viral video on hand.  

Watch this video simply with an open mind.  Let your imagination run, let thoughts come to you, learn lessons that you need to learn.
