Time Compiles 'Best Viral Campaign Ads of 2010', Pans Most of the Repu
It was inevitable that someone with enough time on their hands would compile a list of the best viral campaign video ads of 2010. There sure have been some doozies this year, so I can't fault Time magazine for including hits like "Demon Sheep" and the Dale Peterson ad in their top 20 list.

Time Deputy Managing Editor: America's 'Obsessed' with 'an Enemy That
Radical Islam, schmadical Islam.
