acroyearConsider this two-part law of how stuff ends up in your inbox:
(1) There are people out there who have never seen some moldering viral video, say "JK Wedding Entrance Dance." They were not among the video's 41 million-plus YouTube viewers, they did not see it replayed infinitely on the morning shows, they did not visit the couple's hyped Web site, they missed the "Divorce Entrance" spinoff, and they were oblivious to the tribute on "The Office," which garnered 9 million viewers. When they eventually find it, they assume they have discovered a brand-new thing.
(2) They forward it to you.
