This week's top viral offering comes in the guise of Lord of the Rings (always a winner). "You have my sword," "You have my bow," "And my axe," "...and my vuvu-". You'll just have to watch it. Also, who knew Europop was more annoying than vuvuzelas? In other loosely lager-related news, Carlsberg had better watch their commercial fiefdom because Heineken have pulled together a couple of chucklers.
