A brilliant music video homage to viral videos, by way of the Marketing and Strategy Innovation Blog, which discusses how many of the successful virals came from the corporate world. That may be true, but could Burger King have come up with the Star Wars Kid?
I love these kinds of mashups. Videos like these, and the virals that spawn them, are part of what makes the Internet so much fun.

While real bricks-and-mortar universities are experimenting with creating virtual campuses in Second Life, some fans of the online RPG are creating a make-believe cyber-university all their own, complete with coffee shops, pizza joints, a sports center, a library and classrooms. The Chronicle’s Wired Campus blog reports that Kindly State University set up earlier this month on Second Life. “Tuition is 200 Linden dollars (virtual money), and admission comes with a virtual laptop. Financial aid is available to qualified candidates.”
