This weeks Viral Friday #1 position goes to Sean Ohlenkamp’s Palin As President website. Sean, Steve and Forrest show us what Sarah Palin would look like in the Oval Office. It’s amusing and disturbing. The runner up spot is for Terry Tate: Reading Is Fundamental. Terry Tate is back with three “Election Specials” videos in which he treats Sarah Palin to a ride on the Pain Train. Apple’s Bean Counter completes this week’s top 3. Apple released two new 30-second ads that manage to completely undermine Microsoft’s recent efforts to make Vista palatable.

3. Apple: Bean Counter

Apple released two new 30-second ads that manage to completely undermine Microsoft’s recent efforts to make Vista palatable. The first ad, ‘Bean Counter‘ takes a not-too-subtle swipe at Microsoft’s $300m “I’m a PC” campaign. The second one pokes fun at Microsoft’s recent decision to go back to calling the next version of Windows… Windows. (Source: Gizmodo)
