Viral Video Round-Up: Fake B-Movie Trailers, Black Swan, Aliens, Wrath of Khan, Super Bowl and Oscars Dan Koelsch, February 6, 2011February 6, 2011 Sometimes we get flooded with viral videos, and not all of them necessarily need their own post, or sometimes we just don’t have time).

If you have a cool, funny, or poignant video, let us know in the comments below or through our Contact Page. We may feature it in our next Viral Video Round-Up!
