The Viral Video Chart is packed full of goodies for your viewing pleasure this week. I particularly like the video of Ellen Degeneres giving the commencement speech - or 'common cement' speech as she calls it - at Tulane University in New Orleans. She's smart, funny and she didn't even go to college. Speaking of smart and funny, I also enjoyed Jesse Ventura on the issue of torture - not too many US politicians can speak about waterboarding from personal experience.

But I know the audience and if I had to put money on it, I'd predict that the Whack-a-Kitty video is going to be the most popular - and possibly the most controversial. It doesn't look like any kittens were harmed in the making of the video - obviously I hope not. Please don't try this at home.

2. Eurovision Winner 2009 Norway - Alexander Rybak - Fairytale

Baby-faced Norse dude sings about "when he was younger" - does he mean yesterday?

3. Susan Boyle Stuns Crowd with Epic Singing

Susan Boyle is officially an internet star. Shame it doesn't help ITV's coffers much.

4. Tercer video del PSOE para la campaña europea

The Spanish Socialist Workers Party resorts to fear of foreigners to get its message across - don't let those nasty English/French/German/etc voters make policy in the EU.

The protruding hip bones and rib cage of the first girl were a bit much.

You'd never guess this animated Bert and Ernie-style skit is actually an ad for sport shoes.

Why are there two pianos in the room? I'm pretty sure only one of them gets played. Fantastic music though.

12. Moblin 2.0 Netbook Beta Introduction

Like Whack-A-Mole only cuter.
