You Loved the 'First Kiss' Video Because You Were Told to Love It | Communications Major | Scoop.it

But hey, as it turns out, most of the “strangers” are actors, models, and/or in OK Go (it seems to be an unbreakable law of YouTube that all viral videos have to include OK Go somehow). And the video is an advertisement for clothes — an advertisement that has been watched 24 MILLION TIMES in two days!

After Secretary of State Hillary Clinton smacked down the Senate and the House yesterday, it occurred to me that what made it magical is that it is an instructional video on how to deal with a mansplainer. And of course, any good tutorial needs to be broken down into gifs for emphasis.

First Lady Michelle Obama kept up with her husband stride for stride on Monday, smiling brightly as they proceeded through a second inauguration ceremony chock full of pageantry.

But now, a late 1980s/early 1990s video has surfaced of la Sawyer not only drinking wine, but popping pills too, right before going on air. Say what you will, but we say the lady is a legend!
