Renamed, or re-purposed as the channel that everyone thinks it is already

I did actually know it was for viral ads, but hadn't gone the step further of thinking that a failed viral advertising scheme is still suitable for this channel.

Dumb ways to die certainly counts though either way, since it has close to 3 million youtube views by now. Whichever advertising agency came up with the idea must be pleased It won't hurt the profile of Cat Empire's Ollie McGill, who wrote the music, either.

I don't always agree with your channel assignments, but have added back as many as I could of these If it really goes viral I can swap death for viral... they certainly intend it to, but manufacturing viral vids is a bit hit and miss.

FYI the viral channel is for viral ads, not for videos that go viral. But I think there are a total of five people on the sift who actually know what that channel is for, so whatever (it should really be renamed).

Upvote for the amusing cultural blend.


Indeed.

I'd love to know what you think of this cover of Hotel California, by Australian band "Cat Empire" (in French, but also trying to be à la française):

Did they get it right, or does it sound weird?

Used to be with The Cat Empire but they have since decided to go on without a lead guitar...
