The Strange History of One of the Internet’s First Viral Videos

(via Wired) A man sits in a cubicle and pounds his keyboard in frustration. A few seconds later, he picks up the keyboard and swings it like a baseball bat at his screen—whacking it off the desk.  The angry man get up and kick the monitor across the floor. Cut to black. The clip began to circulate online, mostly via email, in 1997. Dubbed “badday.mpg,” it’s likely one of the first internet videos ever to go viral.
