It had 550.000 views in 4 days. A big hit this week has also been a satirical piece from english journalist and comic writer Charlie Brooker that demonstrates how to build a news report. It got huge views, with more than 1 million views in 9 days.







Another notworthy viral is a truly inspirational one, a piece of conceptual art captured on video. Here's the description of the piece: "For his installation in The Curve, Boursier-Mougenot creates a walk-though aviary for a flock of zebra finches, furnished with electric guitars and other musical instruments.

Another videos being shared a viewed a lot include some already known and older ones (in viral content time, remember!) like the Aids Graffiti one, the Mad TV iPad spoof, the Mashup by DJ Earworm of the top pop music of 2009, The Known Universe, and the Coca-Cola Happiness Machine. And, to finalize, in the week that started Lost's final season (another great topic for virals this week), I'd like to show you a video made by Wooshii members Fine Brothers, with 260.000 views in a week:







Well, that's it for this week's review in virals. There have been others but these are the ones who stood out for me. If you have any suggestions, comment away!
