Following yesterday's blog topic....find a viral commercial that you like.  Make sure it is appropriate for the school scenario.  What makes this viral advertisement successful?  Here is an example of a viral commercial that I found while surfing the Internet.  I like the commercial because of the use of computer graphics and humorous  theme of the outlandish babies skating!
