Okay, stealing is wrong, everybody knows that, right? Right?! WRONG! You get caught and go to a prison. And there are no such things like Prison Break in a real life.
So, this video promoting LG ultra slim OLED TV is just an example of a great viral with more than 3 million views since 28th of December 2011, looking almost as a genuine security cam shots…nicely done Y&R Amsterdam, nicely done.
Admit it, how many times did you watch it to notice the TV in his hand?

2. Fotoshop By Adobé

That Adobe Photoshop is used a lot to alter photos of models is not a secret. To emphasize this fact, Jesse Rosten created a video in which Fotoshop by Adobé is the best “beauty product” in the world. The tag line is fantastic as well, “This commercial isn’t real, neither are society’s standards of beauty.”
This sarcastic video got more than over 2 million views in 4 days.

3. Leo Messi – FIFA World Player Of The Year 2011

For the third time in a row Lionel Messi won the Balón de Oro. As the best player in the world Messi thanks his fans in this viral from sponsor Adidas. He asks his fans to support him at any time as that’s the reason why he’s at his best. Brands should take this as an example, because what is a brand without customers? The viral was watched almost 2 million times since 9th of January. Keep the support for Messi to see some more beautiful football this season.
