Well folks, this is where College Hazing and the Viral Entertainment collide

The amazing information super-highway, the vast internet and all of its glory. The endless information the profound possibilities in medicine, education and science seem limitless. But every now and then it is Viral Entertainment that is worth taking note of.

Like a frenzy of college hazing, endless subjects are filmed while they react to a viral video

The entertainment is just that -- you don't watch that video -- you watch endless other people watching the video and that is...well, um, entertaining.

And it's classic viral.

Who knows where the craze begins, but the more it is known, the more reaction videos are posted. The more videos posted on the net the more get voted on, blogged about etc.

All of this of course, begets more reaction video screenings from people all across the globe, and thus creating a nearly endless supply of amusement free of expensive networks or pesky actors and we can do it all while the writers are still on strike.

Everyone wins.

What a joy the internet is.

I'll bookmark this on my iPhone in case I'm stuck in the airport and need some amusement.

You get the idea...
