Ever surf The Wayback Machine (http://web.archive.org) to see what your favorite websites looked like back in their early days?
Here’s an early version of YouTube…

So my joking reference to the “second law of viral videos” at the close of this “YouTube Viral Video Broker” clip resulted in this question from Joe Chapuis: What’s the first law of viral videos?
