What's gone viral this week

13 March 2014

I'm back this week with my watercooler moments from the worldwide web. I've been a bit ill this week (man flu hit, took me straight out the game. Good news is I caught up on Breaking Bad. No spoilers please) so my radar for what's making waves might be a bit off but I found some of these gems for you to enjoy.

Arnold wants to crush things

The Governator bought a tank, Yes, a tank. Now, he's inviting you to donate to the charity for a chance to go to Los Angeles and crush things in the tank with him. Schwarzenegger's latest stunt is similar to his previous charity promotion, in which he posed as a heckling gym manager. A $10 donation will buy you one entry into the contest, which could end with you riding in a tank and crushing birthday cakes with the Terminator himself.

Keep you're eye out for Arnie, viral marketing is something that he has really got a swagger for at the moment and I don't see this being his only entry in future.




First Kiss

So do you remember you're first kiss? Scary? Well, at least it wasn't broadcast on the internet. Until now. 

20 strangers took part in LA filmmaker Tatia Pllieva candid look at love, romance and chemistry. In this beautifully shot video, it shows all moments of awkwardness and small talk before they go in for the finale. With over 30 million views on YouTube, we all like to see a little love on occasions.



Bird's eye view

After a particularly nasty storm, a pelican stumbled ashore at the secluded resort in Tanzania. The pelican, named Bigbird by the staff, was abandoned by his flock because he couldn't fly. Luckily for him, resort workers took him in and helped him on his way. And luckily for us, they put a GoPro camera on his beak so we could see his first flight.




I'll be back with more soon
