Sean Bielat's Barney Shuffle Attack Ad Goes Viral
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Oct. 22) -- With some deliberately crude animation and a kitschy soundtrack, Sean Bielat is bringing new meaning to the phrase "dancing around the issues." The Republic challenger for Barney Frank's Massachusetts 4th Congressional District seat recently released a risky campaign advertisement featuring the 70-year-old Frank strutting his stuff on the dance floor. Although Bielat realizes that the ad may backfire for his campaign, he's willing to take the risk on the basis that "at least it's not boring." This is certainly true. And without further ado, Surge Desk presents the Barney ...

O'Barry then sent the video to The Associated Press. Since the footage surfaced, the dolphin's intent has become a subject of debate. O'Barry says that by leaping out ...

By Carl Franzen - AOL News(May 18) -- An epic hail storm turned Oklahoma City into an ice-battered no-man's-land Sunday afternoon, damaging scores of buildings and vehicles and injuring at least 21 people unlucky enough to be caught out in it. Though it quickly passed, the storm's fury lives on in some remarkable online images and video.

Top 10 Funniest Viral Videos of 2008
By Tommy Christopher and Caleb Howe - Politics DailyFrom the better late than never files: 2008 was the year that YouTube started to notice its voice changing, and felt its body changing in other new, and frightening ways. While web videos played a huge part in the presidential campaign, allowing cash-strapped candidates to get their message out cheaply and keeping them honest with an endless archive of what they really said, they were also a boon to creativity.The John McCain "Celeb" ad was a perfect case-in-point. While the ad got massive exposure on the web and in the press, it probably made up fewer minds than the Paris Hilton commercial ...

McCain Supporter: Obama an Arab
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyUpdate: Here's another clip of McCain trying to dial back a hostile crowd. As I said before, McCain is making a good start, but he has to follow through with some acknowledgment of his part in this ugliness. The McCain that many Americans used to admire would do it.I want very much to give credit to John McCain for finding his sense of decency. In my kindest thoughts about the GOP candidate, I think he was an honorable man, being pushed by rabid strategists into an ugly, incendiary strategy.At a rally today, McCain was forced to defend Obama, and I think I detected sincere regret in McCain's ...
