Viral Video: First Kiss vs. First Sniff

I am a huge fan of viral videos…

Let me rephrase that. I am a huge fan of funny viral videos. Often if I catch a good one first thing in the morning it sets the tone for a great day.

This week I was overwhelmed by the amount of people watching the “FIRST KISS “video experiment where people who had just met kissed for the first time on film. Meh.

I got about 40 seconds in as I forced myself to watch it write this blog. I usually try to not be ignorant about things other people love when I view them but for the duration of the video (that I watched) I was unimpressed. Worse than unimpressed actually, I didn’t care. Yeah, it is worse. When you are unimpressed you still feel something, on my level I just sighed and wanted it to end. Clearly (to me) anyone who has watched this video and marveled at its beauty would go ape-shit over a night watching the dance floor at a university town bar.  

I’m not going to post it here, that is how little I care. I usually put that effort in for you so that you can see what I mean and then hopefully agree with me. Not this time folks. Google it yourself, it will take about 5 seconds to find.

On a much more interesting note, my viral video of the week (and maybe even the month) is a parody of that video. It is what happens when dogs kiss for the first time. Hide your kids, things get wild.

Animal instincts are much more fun than humans.

Here you go, its “First Sniff” a dog snuff film.

Viral Vid: Walking Dead Zombie Prank

"Good job, ya jerk!"

I would cry if someone did this to me!

I love the Walking Dead, but it belongs on the screen in my life. I love how much effort was put into helping Walking Dead superfan Nick Santonastasso prank one of the show's stars Norman Reedus (Daryl).

If your a Walking Dead fan checkout this new show from the BBC its called 'In The Flesh' and will help you get your Zombie fix with a new spin!

Viral Vid: Seattle Seahawk's Derrick Coleman's 'Trust Your Power'

Holy crap!

Could I be anymore excited for Sunday’s NFC title game featuring the San Francisco 49ers and the team that will win the Superbowl this year, the Seattle Seahawks?

I don’t think so.

This Duracell commercial is just one of the many contributing factors pumping me up for the big day.

It quickly tells the story of Seahawk’s fullback Derrick Coleman and his quest to play in the NFL. Coleman is the first offensive player in the National Football League’s history to be legally deaf. Coleman has had virtually completely deaf since age three and uses hearing aids as part of his daily life.

For a great full look atDerrick Coleman’s story click here, FOX Sport’s Ross Jones wrote a great articleabout Coleman last week.

I hope you are as pumped as I am! I can’t wait to see everyone on February 2ndat the Selkirk Saints fundraiser Superbowl Party at the Element!

Viral Vid: Devil Baby Attack

WARNING: THIS LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY WILL HAUNT YOUR DREAMS

Holy crap!

I may not sleep tonight.  This creepy little guy, like most viral video serves a very creepy purpose. This is not your Disneyland remote-controlled animatronic; this is what I imagine is living in the dark underworld of the ‘It’s A Small World’ ride. All part of a viral campaign for the new movie Devil’s Due (due out this Friday), it makes me very happy to not live in the same country let alone state where this monstrous creation is.

Everything about this demon child is terrifying. From its dirty little face to its screeching howls, I think this could be used as a form of birth control. I bet you anything people who see this movie will not have procreating on their minds for a good long time afterwards! 

Viral Video: Peanuts Inspired Flash Mob in NYC

Check out this awesome video from New York City where the team from Mashable put together this
Peanuts style flash-mob. This is the latest video in my collection of viral holiday videos this year. I am not a huge fan of Peanuts, even as a kid I didn't really like Peanuts but the theme song takes me back to getting ready every morning for school and listening to the radio (hoping that school would be cancelled). 

Thank you Mashable for your dose of Christmas Cheer!

Viral Vid: Chuck Norris Wishes You a Merry Christmas

Yes, CGI Chuck Norris is out doing real life Jean-Claude Van Damme in today’s viral video. Let’s just take a moment and grasp the overall meaning of this video and appreciate that Jean-Claude Van Damme is still totally awesome (and real), CGI Chuck Norris and his acrobatic team are show offs. With that being said, if you see a Christmas tree floating above you in the sky with two accompanying airplanes just know it is Chuck Norris, the real Chuck Norris, outdoing CGI Chuck Norris and Jean-Calude Van Damme in true Chuck Norris style to wish you a “Merry Christmas”.

Here is the original Jean-Claude Van Damme commercial:

Must Watch: Ohio State University's Marching Band's Tribute to Hollywood

You need to check out this video, yes it is long… nearly 9 minutes but it is worth it! Start after the one-minute mark and enjoy every second of Ohio State University’s Marching Band’s tribute to Hollywood. My personal favourite? Jurassic Park of course! 

So good...

Kate's Confessions: Being Serenaded

I'm not going to lie; I am not very experienced romantically. I have had one serious boyfriend in my 24 years and I know that regardless of how long we do this dating dance I will never be serenaded by my less than musically inclined boyfriend. 

That is why I love today's viral video, of a couple of random Joe-blow guys wandering around Ontario universities serenading every woman in sight. They walk in on lectures, everything... even female professors. 

Now, I am not sure this would be something I like to happen to me in real life, I imagine it would be pretty awkward having someone stare into your soul and sing to you, but if anyone ever wants to give it ago you know where to find me every day between 10am and 2pm.

Check out the video for yourself!

I guess this runs in my family, my father has had my mother serenaded before on Valentine’s Day (it is also a day off their anniversary), helping out local fundraisers raise money and she absolutely hated it. I want your stories, what do you think? kate@mountainfm.net
