There was a bit of a backlash against mobile phones and YouTube last year, when numerous incidents of Happy Slapping appeared. The furore peaked with a front page headline towards the end of the year of a teenager assaulted in Ballymun who claimed that the video’s circulation on Youtube only added to the trauma from the assault.

That’s all about to change in 2007 as a new trand sweeps video sharing sites - street kissing (via picturephoning.com). The video below is only a taste of the new phenomenon sweeping the streets across the globe. It’s along the same lines as the Free Hugs campaign.

My god: Watch this right now:

Sean and Stewart are partners in a new bakery.

Thanks Cath, who says:

A two-minute clip of a teenage boy pretending to wield a Star Wars lightsaber has become the most popular viral video on the internet.

The footage of Ghyslain Raza - who became known as the Star Wars Kid - has been viewed 900 million times.

Full story.

Here, be the 900 million and first person to watch it:

And sure why not:

Cool new Sony Bravia ad. Be sure to read the little blurb about it below.

Our latest TV ad - featuring massive paint explosions - took 10 days and 250 people to film. Huge quantities of paint were needed to accomplish this, which had to be delivered in 1 tonne trucks and mixed on-site by 20 people.

Bravia stuff previously @ TCAL. Thanks The Slippery Orange Ballcock.

Cool video, showing a women getting made up, then photoshopped until she’s the perfect image of beauty for an ad campaign. Direct shockwave flash click. Part of Dove’s Campaign For Real Beauty. (via digg)

Waste hours with this. M&M’s Dark Chocolate 50 Dark Movies viral.

We love the Dublin Coastal Development Viral - it’s great to see high quality stuff like this coming out of Ireland. I got some detail on who was behind it:

Funda.ie’s ad agency, Chemistry conceived the idea. They commisioned The Farm for the video piece, and Spline Design was contracted for the website. Hats off to all involved. Thanks to the Leprechaun for all that. Previously.

Wow.

Update: It must be Steorn behind this!!!

Another update. The official Dublin Coastal Development website!

Awesome. You may have seen some of these guys’ flash work before at rathergood.com.

Click. Viral for Scissor Sisters single I don’t feel like dancin. Found via pkellypr.

Great to see a car ad glorifying speeding, donut-ing right in front of bystanders and evading the police. Still, the scalectrix style is nice. Direct .mov click.
Advertising this Mazda.

There’s an interesting read about the recent Grand Theft Auto style Coca Cola ad at collisiondetection here.

As you’d imagine, the gaming blogosphere has widely praised it as funny and witty. But I don’t think any of them have truly understood what’s so culturally epochal about that ad: It does not directly reference Grand Theft Auto. Nothing in the game mentions it by name, or even alludes to the name. No, the advertisers merely presume their audience is so familiar with GTA — including the way it looks, feels, and plays — that they can simply shoot forward to the complex visual joke.

I have to admit, I’m surprised. Probably because I frequently write about games for mainstream publications, I continually have to grapple with the fact that a lot of people — and I mean a lot, particularly anyone over the age of 30 — have no clue how GTA plays or feels, which is precisely why they believe it’s a tool precision-engineered for turning kids into homicidal urban vampires. But maybe I’m wrong. Coca Cola — hardly the most marginal, renegade corporation — has clearly polled the hell out of the youth market and decided that everybody and their dog a) knows about GTA and b) can recognize something that riffs off of its iconoclastic style.

I’d love to know what this ad means to someone that doesn’t know GTA. Is it totally meaningless without knowledge of the reference, or does it stand on its own two feet?

The Cmons solve one of life’s most mysterious questions.

Fairly similar to the Lazy Sunday video, but entertaining nonetheless as Smirnoff turns to YouTube and shows us how the dudes from New Hampshire get down with it.

This is how to make a good and entertaining advertisement.
Yes, those guys really are Survivor, the original performers of Eye of the Tiger.

Holy Shit. Better put that kid into protection for his own good.

Holy Shit Two. Look at this video response.

This is why the internets and modern technology can be considered bad
