Viral Video Friday
Jesse Bouman | January 15th, 2010
What a week it has been. There was the tragic earthquake in Haiti that devastated a nation but has united the world. The late night debacle at NBC and the beginning of American Idol’s 9th season (actually all unofficial videos of “Pants on the Ground” have been taken down) gave everyone a distraction amidst the sadness in Haiti. Here are a few more distractions. Sights and Sounds from Haiti Please remember to donate to those affected by this disaster. Kenneth the Page Interrupts the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien Late night hosts are having a field day with NBC’s mishandling of Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien’s respective shows and time slots. Here is one of many clips taking a swipe at NBC. Coca-Cola “Happiness Machine” What do you get when you put a generous Coke machine in a student union? Happiness. Guy Has Glasses Tattooed on His Face Some people just look really good in glasses. Kids Reenact MTV’s Hit Series “Jersey Shore” Everybody spoofing the reality show Jersey Shore has a higher IQ than the original cast. Including these tikes. *Lucky you, we’ve added a bonus video to Viral Video Friday because it’s too good to be omitted. No intro needed. Save this Post!

Viral Video Friday
Jesse Bouman | January 8th, 2010
It’s a new year but the same old Viral Video Friday. To start off 2010 we have a brand new computer phone, a useless box, a daredevil, a lush of a diva, and a psuedo Na’vi. Nexus One: “Web Meets Phone” Google unveiled their answer to the iPhone this week, Nexus One. Will it be an iPhone killer? Only time will tell, but did anyone else find it interesting that Google highlighted the talking GPS feature? Can your iPhone do that? The Most Useless Machine EVER! Somehow, I don’t think this ranks up there with Eli Whitney’s the cotton gin. Travis Pastrana Jumps 269 Feet in Rally Car! Just down the 405 in Long Beach, California, Travis Pastrana pushes the envelope once again by jumping a rally car 269 feet. I think Red Bull had some sort of involvement. Mariah’s Bizarre Acceptance Speech Mariah Carey has been blowing up the web with her intoxicated acceptance speech. Let’s hope she was just having a good time that night and it wasn’t an indication of her marriage to Nick Cannon. Avatar Makeup Tutorial Avatar has made over a billion dollars thus far and everyone is catching Avatar fever. “Glowpinkstah” is one of the many Avatar fans, so much so that she decided to “Pay her respects to the people of Pandora and do a make up tutorial.” Sit down, get your pen and paper because she will bring out the real Na’vi from within.
