Viral Video Chart: Kim Dotcom in Megaupload ad, dormouse snores

As Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom becomes the anti-piracy movement's latest bete noire – not least due to his lavish playboy lifestyle – it's fascinating to look back at the heights he hit before the FBI took his empire down. One example is the big-bucks pop video that launched in December featuring a string of stars including P Diddy, Will.i.am, Alicia Keys, Kanye West and Snoop Dogg singing the praises of the cyberlocker service. After causing controversy last month over claims that Universal Music had demanded its removal from YouTube, it returns thanks to shares from fans mourning the loss of Megaupload. Was Dotcom tempting fate by appearing himself in the video? The Megaupload pop video appears on Kim Dotcom's YouTube channel , which also features clips of the $500,000 New Year's Eve firework display he funded in his adopted home of New Zealand and the man himself celebrating his success at Modern Warfare 3 . You can also watch a video from South American members of "hacktivist" group Anonymous threatening retribution against the authorities for taking Megaupload down. Elsewhere this week, there's a compilation of "shit Liz Lemon says" on 30 Rock and a tribute to New York cliches that seems to have entertained and riled its citizens in equal measure. Finally, we turn to the animal world with video of a happy dog that just can't sit still as it bounces aound a field, and a hibernating dormouse that just can't stop snoring. Will it stay that way right through to spring? Guardian Viral Video Chart.
