Iran’s “Neda”, an Internet Icon
by Demosthenes on Jun.21, 2009, under Current Affairs
Millions have been moved by the so-called Neda video that went viral shortly after it was uploaded onto the internet, Saturday. People around the world have been moved by the images coming out of Iran that show the suppressive violence being used against the reformist protesters and the seemingly peaceful demonstrations in which they are involved.
In this video, Neda Agha Soltan is seen lying on the ground after being shot in the chest. Her music teacher and bystanders rush to help her as blood gushes from her mouth and nose. Within moments, she is dead.
And while it may seem in poor taste to post this video on v1r4l, our mission is to track and acknowledge v1r4l web trends regardless of content and politics. Please note, dear viewers, that this video includes graphic content and you should watch it at your own discretion.

Hammer Pants Flash Mob Molests Skinny Jeans Buyers
by Demosthenes on Jun.17, 2009, under Film & TV
We have faith in that the Hammer still knows how to wow. To spark buzz for the show at a modish shop on Sunset, a bunch of people randomly burst in with bling-ass genie pants and started dancing to U Can’t Touch This, the single that made the man a legend. What’s funny is that the invasion is so forceful, so sudden, that people actually start running away. Then the violent pelvic thrusting starts, and … well … hell breaketh loose.
Hammertime debuts later this year. Catch it if you can manage to tear yourself away from those endless Keeping up with the Kardashians marathons. More on the effort here.

Welcome to V1R4L
by Demosthenes on Mar.30, 2009, under v1r4l.com
I’m going to level with you: this site exists entirely because we want to make money off the ads. Better you know that now, then find out later and get upset. But not all ad-sponsored sites are without merit and V1R4L aims to fall into the select category of those that provide useful purpose while still collecting clicks and impressions. This is why we encourage your comments (provided you pass the reCaptcha, of course) and post recommendations.
V1R4L is a tumblr to drive traffic to viral and guerrilla marketing initiatives, web trends, interesting fads and crazes and general internet tom foolery. In fact, our only rule for posts is that they have to be interesting. The categories to the right enable us to shelve posts by interest, but you certainly don’t have to submit ideas that fit neatly into one of those groups. If it’s interesting, we want to hear about it.
