With over 400,000 views already, this so-bad-its-good “viral” from Skittles is bound to actually go viral. Copyranter hates it. and we can see why. It’s hideously annoying. But it does have its redeeming qualities. As “virals” go, wacky and weird usually work. And this video is full of wacky and weird. But what we like most about it is how much it reminds us of the high school hotties we so loved to see in gym class wearing their piped shorts and tube socks. Now its fashion. Back then, it was just what you wore to gym class. But it was still hot. And hot in a way that was natural. Not contrived as it seems today.
