This week’s Viral Friday #1 position goes to Dove’s Onslaught.

The runner up spot is for Webcam Break Up. Pandemic Labs is a new viral marketing agency from Weston, Massachusetts. To introduce themselves to the world they made a very successful viral video in which we see an American teenager taking revenge on her boyfriend. The ‘Free Burma’ video completes this weeks top 3. Over 5.500 bloggers from at least 45 different countries participated in this cyberprotest against the military regime in Burma by placing a ‘Free Burma’ banner on their blog.

In the video, which has about 1.5 million views on Break, we see an American teenager telling her boyfriend she’s going to play for the other team. Revenge can be cold… And so hot at the same time!

3. Free Burma!

Over 5.500 bloggers from over 45 different countries participated in a cyberprotest against the military regime in Burma by placing a ‘Free Burma’ banner on their blog. The plan for this internet protest originated in Germany and spread around the world in no time. Despite the success the bloggers never got any support from authority sites as BoingBoing and digg. Right now, the tag “Free Burma” is the “Hottest Topic” on Technorati. (Source: Volkskrant)
