In today’s interconnected society, it doesn’t take long for an entertaining or thought-provoking video, an unbelievable news story or a noteworthy image to go viral. In some cases, within hours of publication hundreds of thousands of people across the globe have already viewed one of these elements.
Take, for instance, a new ”Gangnam Style”-themed spoof video put out by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Korean Students Association. In it, there is at least one shocking appearance by a well-known and divisive sociopolitical figure. Boston.com explains the video, in detail:
The MIT Korean Students Association decided to film their own take on Psy’s “Gangnam Style” video with a Cambridge spin. The video’s page features the lengthy list of appearances made by MIT faculty and staff including Dean of Admissions Stu Schmill, school mascot Tim the Beaver, Phi Beta Epsilon, and professors Noam Chomsky and Donald Sadoway.
Yes, you read that correctly — famed progressive Noam Chomsky, one of the left’s most prominent “philosophers” and “cognitive scientists” (a man who has, in the past, defended a convicted terrorist), appears in the clip. And in just four, short days, the video has attracted more than 1.5 million views.
Chomsky has taught at the university since 1955.
Watch his appearance in the video, below (you’ll see him around 3:18):
On a lighter note, viral videos comprise a social phenomenon that only seems to be growing. Now, a new show on Syfy called “Viral Video Showdown” will pit video makers against one another in a competition to see who can create the most viral clip.
