Bus. Eng: 15 Mins of Fame
"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." - Andy Warhol
These days, it's really common to hear conversations that begin with... "Have you seen that Youtube video...?" In class today, I brought up the topic of viral videos in relation to word of mouth promotion/advertising. Viral videos get passed from one person to another through Internet sharing. When something "goes viral", this refers to an Internet video getting the special "status" of being seen by a vast number of people quickly. This has also led to creating many overnight Internet celebrities/sensations getting their "15 mins of fame."
Here are some really famous videos that have made their way around the Internet and have spread like a virus. So next time somebody sings the 'Friday' song or talks about 'sneezing panda' you will be "with it" and not be lost in the conversation.
Some viral videos to check out!

Best Job Ever?!
From http://www.365daysofdining.com/
As the ambassador for Richmond’s diverse culinary scene, Lindsay receives a one-year contract role with a salary of $50,000, living compensation and a daily stipend for all restaurant meals. The job also includes a one-year membership to the Richmond Olympic Oval—home to a 23,000 square foot fitness centre—to assist in burning off all those daily restaurant samplings!
In exchange, Lindsay will dine at 365 Richmond restaurants in 365 days, taking photos, shooting videos and blogging about the experience. She will also be actively engaging with the community—both in person and online through social media—and meeting the people who live, work and play in Richmond. The dynamic, multicultural city of Richmond boasts more than 800 restaurants (over 400 of which are Asian eateries) and is renowned for having some of the best Chinese cuisine in the world. Add to that all the fresh seafood offerings in the scenic fishing village of Steveston as well as fine-dining hotel restaurants, two authentic Asian night markets, funky diners and the homemade offerings at the Steveston Farmers & Artisans Market, and there’s plenty of variety to keep Lindsay busy for a full year.

INT C/D: Singing to Conditionals
Conditionals through song! LaLaLaLaLa
Barenaked Ladies- If I had a million dollars (2nd Conditional)
If I Had $1000000
I'd buy you a house
If I Had $1000000
I'd buy you furniture for your house
If I Had $1000000
I'd buy you a K-Car
If I Had $1000000
I'd buy your love
Beyoncé- If I were a boy (2nd Conditional)
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man.
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
Adele- Rolling in the Deep (3rd Conditional)

We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
To the beat

604: Living at an airport
From http://liveatyvr.tumblr.com/about: In celebration of YVR’s 80th anniversary, Vancouver Airport Authority
launched a contest to find someone to live at YVR for 80 days and share
the stories of the airport with the world. That’s right. Live here.
Sleep here. Eat here. Shop here. For 80 consecutive days.Vancouver resident Jaeger Mah was selected by public vote to take on the challenge. From August 17 to November 4, 2011, he has access to the people, places and behind-the-scenes spaces most have never seen. Until now.
As the official Live@YVR correspondent, Jaeger will sleep at The Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel, live in the YVR community and tell the stories of YVR’s 23,600 employees and 400 businesses. And he can’t leave the airport’s Sea Island home for the duration of the 80 days. Not even once.
Follow along as Jaeger uncovers the stories behind YVR and shares the triumphs—and trials—of living at an airport full time.

604: "The World Is Your Oyster"
THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER: http://www.english-for-students.com/The-World.html
My friend shared with me these really awesome videos from EF that will make anyone want to go abroad
Check out this really nice video that makes this city look super cool... minus the studying! (I guess they do go to the library...) Their marketing department must be really good. Travel time.
And after you're done with English.... maybe español, 中文 or français?
