Whoops?

We all make mistakes. And when you do, I guess you learn not to make the same mistake again. Well if the mistake was on live TV and in front of a live audience of 2000 people it will be a bit embarrassing right? In today’s viral video, the host of the live reality TV show "Australian Next Top Model" made international headlines within minutes when she announced the wrong winner of the two ladies fighting for the top spot to become a model on the international stage.

Basically what happened was the host Sarah Murdoch announced the wrong winner when she was fed the wrong information by her producer via her ear piece. Shortly after the producer realised what had happened and Murdoch was told that she announced the wrong winner. The disastrous event was dissected in real time on Twitter, and it became an international trending topic immediately.

Makes you wonder, was it all a publicity stunt to get attention or was it a honest mistake. The video got picked up via the internet as well with the fuelling of twitter and it went viral within days, grabbing over a million views on the popular video-sharing website YouTube. Generously the Foxtel's director awarded the runner up with a trip overseas and the $25,000 price money. Goes to show once again how powerful the internet is when it comes to sharing something with the world. Check out the video and see how all this unfolded.

Women Driving Stereotypes :)

We always hear about women and the stereotype with the in ability to drive, well also with Asian drivers but we'll just be misogynistic today ;)
This Viral Video is one the perfect examples to prove this point, though not really true it is hysterical to laugh about. It is simply a woman trying to reverse park her car into a car park spot which isn't too difficult but takes many tries to go in, even to the point of totally turning the car around. The male driver waiting for the car to finish parking later on simply just goes out and parks the car for her.



This video has been seen many times due to the fact that it is on the fail blog channel which shows many other similar videos where people's fail moments at life so do check it out. :)

Got Milk?

Cows. Producers of milk and generally peaceful farm animals. However, as today's viral video reveals, cows may get up to some wild shenanigans when there are no humans around. The video, entitled cows & cows & cows, is simply cows doing crazy things.

Achieving widespread popularity due to its inclusion in an episode of 'RayWilliamJohnson', the disturbing 2 minute video has had over 5 000 000 views. It is because of the combination of fluid, yet scary, animations with a complimentary soundtrack that this video has gone viral.






The composer of this video, known simply as 'cyriak', is actually a very talented animator. Indeed, as the video's online success has shown, cyriak has incredible technological ability.

Personally, I found the video annoying and creepy. Regardless it has proven to be a viral phenomenon. If you would like to witness this abomination of the humble cow, click the link provided below:

Intel's Clever Marketing?

I believe we are all familiar with Intel's jingle.  So, here is an idea of how to play the chime with a different approach.  This is the stunt Intel Finland pulled out of their hat.



As with any organization there is internal competitiveness.  So, after a year Intel Romania tried to outdone their Finnish colleagues.  Here is what they have done.



Are these real? You be the judge!

Its a thriller!

Michael Jackson. Hmm some might say, yep he was a legend. Others might think otherwise. Well a viral video was released sometime in 2007 which shows prisoner inmates dancing to the Michael Jackson song Thriller and demonstrates to some extent how influential humour, music and the internet can be when put into one and quickly became a hit with the help of the video sharing website YouTube. Strange? Yeah seems like it. Prisoners perform a coordinated dance routine as their daily ritual in a Philipino prison. Maybe that’s where this countries tax money is going. Like dont they have anything better to do? No idea how this video went viral but it seems like the internet and humour have a weird bond. With over 40million views it has been re-directed onto other websites and it even made an appearance on some news broadcast stations making this video one of classics in the viral video list of today.

 After watching this video, prison doesn’t look to bad. Its kind of fun right. I don’t know you decide. With the video having a strong comedic appeal and presented in unlikely circumstances, it exploded all over the world and as a result it was watched by millions.




The video can be found here. After watching it, you yourself might even try some moves from the clip you never know. :) Enjoy!

All the single... Whales?

Dancing is such a great phenomenom that humans can use to show their expressions when it comes to music.
Some people just shouldn't.
Today's viral video incorporates dancing at it's finest! We've all know those fat jokes where we always tease fat people. But this guy gladly appreciates his size and loves to express his love for music.
If your eyes are still fine after watching this video then yeah you can consider it funny, or disturbing? O_O
All the single ladies, Beyonce does it right this guy just does it... You decide!!!
