Viral video

I was one of the judges at Channel 4′s Germ viral video awards today. This one stood out, mostly because it’s someone doing something entertaining. Ad agencies take note: slapping a TV ad on the web does not mean you are “doing a viral”. Viral is a verb, not a noun.

    I’m sorry to be an obnoxious pedant – and please delete this and block my ISP if this is a pedantry too far – but surely ‘viral’ is an adjective.

    (Great vid though.)

    Surely “viral” is an adjective, unless you’re in marketing?

    No it’s not, it’s a noun!

    I agree with Miles. Nice idea but I got bored after 20 secs.

    i was going to say “viral” is a preposition, not because it’s true, but in the interest of being contrary. i think, rather, viral is actually a trite cliche.
