Viral Friday: Dancing, Dead Paper, and Doggies

Dancing Queen
If you're one to follow viral videos you may have seen this one already but bare with me as there is an interesting development. In April this video of a woman dancing at a bus stop was uploaded to YouTube. It quickly received over 700,000 views. It has also been re-posted many times with equally impressive hits.

The woman, now known to be 35 year old Ellie Cole, was actually offered a job after the video fell into the lap of playwright Lynne Paris. The gig is said to be a role in the opening dance scene of 'Ah Men' at The Point Theatre.

Cole, who actually studied the performing arts but couldn't afford to keep going to class, says "it's very flattering and humbling. There is no doubt it's very exciting."

Oh, and just in case you were wondering, Cole says she was listening to the song Knock Down by Alesha Dixon. Perhaps that explains 0:49.



Ginger Cat
This next video is a short that was posted September 16th and has been watched over 1 million times.

Complete with epic soundtrack and plenty of explosions the video is the utterly adorable tale of the Paper Army attacking the Ginger Cat.

This one is otherwise pretty self explanatory but a definite must watch nonetheless.


Dog Escape Artist
The last video of the day was posted on September 17th and has since been displayed on screens all over the world over 2 million times.

The YouTuber that posted the video describes the dog, Bandit, as an extremely anxious dog with separation anxiety.

Bandit was locked in the kitchen while the owner was out to keep him from hurting himself or household items with his nervousness. The owner found the dog was still managing to escape so he set up his laptop to figure out how he was doing it.

I wonder if the name was an afterthought... or foreshadowing.
