This amazing piece of video shows a kiteboarder getting caught in an updraft and shooting 300+ feet in the air. Just to help understand the scale, the wires that connect a kiteboarder to a kite are 100 feet long, but it’s still hard to tell how far up he goes. Video includes a phone interview with the kiteboarder, amazingly he didn’t break anything.
This guy is apparently “dropping the kids off at the pool”, which is included in a little viral video that Charmin is using to promote it’s co-creative web site AlittleBitRude.co.uk.
The main site A little bit rude is created by Charmin in the UK that asks people to contribute what they use as a euphemism for, shall we say, Poop, touching cotton, or even Releasing the chocolate hostages, squeezing one out, or the wonderful cockney ryme Richard the Third (rhymes with turd).

I think I’ll give this an A+ for Viral because it is surprising enough that a decent sized company would put its name to this, or produce the video which is also pretty funny. Interestingly the video actually uses some visual euphemisms, maybe their visual puns, not sure, pretty funny. In fact this is only funny because it’s being released by a toilet paper company, I don’t think you would crack a smile if you saw it on youtube.
The other thing to note is “viral” has no boundaries, so something that might be “targeted” for the British public that generally enjoy a good poop joke, might not go down so well in the US.
