1. Dove Onslaught
This week Dove and Ogilvy released a new viral video called Onslaught. It’s the follow-up to the highly successful Evolution video; winner of two Grand Prix awards, about 5 million YouTube views and numerous imitations. Onslaught is a short film in which a young girl gets blasted with hundreds of images of female perfection, drawing attention to the need for a wider definition of beauty in society. (Source: adfreak)
2. Webcam Break Up
Pandemic Labs is a new viral marketing agency from Weston, Massachusetts. To make themselves known in the viral world they made this very successful viral video. 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)
4. Sony Bravia: Play Doh
Yesterday Sony and Fallon launched a new (stop-motion) commercial, called Play-Doh, for Sony Bravia, supported by Rolling Stone’s ‘She’s a Rainbow’. This third Bravia commercial takes place in New York. 198 60 cm tall rabbits, one 9 meters tall rabbit, 40 animators, 6 camera’s and 100.000 ‘stills’ were needed to make this 60 second commercial.

A huge explosion in front of the royal palace in Brussels. That’s exactly what we see in this spectacular video, posted on YouTube last Monday. Its very obvious this is a hoax, but the meaning of it remains unclear. More footage on YouTube. (Source: DeMorgen)

Advertising acency Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH) London is seeking for graduates and made this funny recruitment viral. “What do we want to do when we grow up?” asks the teacher. “I want a cool job”, answers self-assured Charlie.
