A Dramatic Surprise in a Quiet Part of Town

What's trending this week is a video that has gained 6 million views in under 2 days! It's being compared to the viral video "Kony 2012" with its mass views. I have to admit, after watching this video, I got pumped.

The creators and host of the video is a television broadcaster called "TNT". They focus mostly on drama shows. You can visit their website at http://www.tntdrama.com/. This video is actually a commercial for their program and so far it's been working. Publicity for this video has increased drastically. I can assure you that the marketing team is going to be really happy with their results.

The video takes place in a quiet square in Belgium. It's filmed in a town that never has any action. So what TNT has decided to do, was place a random red button in the center of the town square and hope for people to push it. They place an arrow above the button that says "press to add drama". The idea was to promote curious people into pushing the button. Once a person pushes the button, a lot of craziness happens. For example, an ambulance comes speeding in grabbing a man in a stretcher out of a near restaurant. The ambulance then speeds off with the doors open and the guy in the stretcher comes flying out. The town barely sees any exciting things, so a crowd forms due to word of mouth! I'm not going to ruin the rest, take a look.

Watch the video for yourself and let me know what you think!

Nyan Cat.. what did I just watch?

I have just watched this very strange video.. and apparently, this video that has been watched over 70 million times is celebrating it's one year anniversary.

The video is called Nyan Cat. It looks to be an animated gif that includes a Japanese pop tune combined into some strange looped animation. After extensive research, I have come to find out that the song is a remix of a Hatsune Miku song. This clip has comments like "this song is ear rape" and "My brain is hiding behind the sofa but the rest of me is boogying! :)"(Yup... read the comments yourself)

This clip was released one year ago and blew up to become one of YouTube's top 10 most-viewed videos of 2011. This weird video/song has appeared on comedy networks "Tosh.0" blog with Daniel Tosh making fun of it. There have been many re-created parodies, remixes and covers for this song. Believe it or not, but there's a 100 hour version of this song that has been released. (I guess some guy hated pressing the replay button) This 100 hour video has 6 million views.

Looking at the YouTube data, this video averages roughly around 1 million views per week over the past year.. That's impressive.

I'd like to meet the guy who thought of the idea to create a half cat, half toaster pastry flying into a rainbow space with a speed-up japanese song. Kudos to you sir.
