I was delighted when I read that HBO and YouTube have reached a deal in which YouTube will create a channel, giving users access to clips from popular HBO shows and full episodes of budding shows. See the HBO YouTube Channel here.

Fans will now be able to legally pass along clips from some of their favorite shows, as well as watch complete episodes of new shows they might want to add to their viewing repertoire.

This weeks Viral Friday #1 position goes to Jimmy Kimmel: I’m F*cking Ben Affleck. About a month ago comedian Sarah Silverman embarrassed her boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel with the hilarious song ‘I’m Fucking Matt Damon’. But now the popular talk show host takes revenge on his lady with the video ‘I’m Fucking Ben Affleck’. The runner up spot is for Star Wars according to a 3 year old. A cute 3 year old girl explains the plot of the science fiction movie Star Wars: Episode IV. Nokia completes this week’s top 3 with Nokia Morph Concept. Since the beginning of this week visitors of the “Design and the Elastic Mind” exposition in the New York Museum Of Modern Art can admire the Nokia Morph concept.

Do you want to see this week’s list from 1 to 10? Go on then, and have a look! We’d like to hear your opinion about the virals. Have fun!
