<p>Worth mentioned is that it was shot in HD with DSLR camera, which looks great.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s about a man in Belgium parking a car in a very narrow garage, and I instantly thought if this was true or in fact a viral campaign.</p>
<p>Check it out and let&#8217;s discuss after it:</p>

<p>It&#8217;s so extreme, that&#8217;s why it looks unreal at times.</p>
<p>Anyway, upon further investigation, it seems to be a segment for a Belgian TV show on odd things. But it would great as a viral campaign wouldn&#8217;t it? That&#8217;s the kind of odd things that do go viral, and this video proves it.</p>
<p>It had 335.000 this week.</p>

Supposedely it&#8217;s actual real!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s somewhat similar in type to the viral with the weird clouds over Russia, and on the web since the 9th December, with 1.25 million views since then.</p>
<p>Scientists are still not sure what it is, but it&#8217;s ben reported in major media outlets, so supposedely it&#8217;s not a big hoax (not that being reported on major media outlets makes something real!).</p>
<p>Anyway, take a look and try to figure it out for yourself:</p>

<p>Creatives take notice, this weird weather occurences (wether real or not) can make your video go viral: the discussion it fuels to see if it&#8217;s real or not will make people see it more times and pass it along to friends.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s a about a man in Japan who apparently married a videogame character&#8230; What?</p>
<p>Yes, that&#8217;s right, it was streamed live from a japanese video site and actually had people in attendance. But for more details check out the video, don&#8217;t want to spoil it for you.</p>
<p>Now, what I&#8217;m thinking is, is this really a cooky japanese guy doing this on his will or for fun, OR is it an orchestrated viral from the publishers of the Nintendo DS video game &#8220;Love Plus&#8221;?<br />

<p>Well, this video has gone viral and the question I was thinking was, is this some kind of advertising, or student film?</p>
<p>It seems it isn&#8217;t. It is really a natural phenomenon.</p>
<p>A spokesman from Moscow&#8217;s weather forecasting service who talked to the Daily Mail said: &#8221;Several fronts have been passing through Moscow recently, there was an intrusion of the Arctic air too, the sun was shining from the west – this is how the effect was produced. This is purely an optical effect, although it does look impressive.&#8221;</p>

<p>If this was for a brand it would be equally impressive, 460.000 views in 4 days.</p>
<p>Now, are you convinced of that explanation or the paranoid in you still believes there&#8217;s some alien conspiracy there, or maybe a brand advertising?</p>
