Eatmail Picks Five Best Virals of 2005 2004

Eatmail, collector of all things viral, has queried its members and selected the top five viral clips of 2005. As a positive indication of advertising’s success in using the viral medium, three of the top five clips are ads.

The number five spot is Ninja for UFJ Tsubasa Securities. The number three slot goes to Trojan Games for Trojan Condoms. And the number two spot goes to ford for its SportKa. The other two winners were unrelated to advertising. In the number four position was a surfer successfully tackling a gigantic wave for a one of those surfer documentaries.

I’m 65 and I spent my entire adult life being the most competent person in every room I entered and it took a therapist asking me one very quiet question at 63 to help me understand that the competence wasn’t confidence — it was the strategy of a child who learned that being needed was the closest available substitute for being loved
