Paris Hilton Sex Tape Number 3 But...

Sex tapes no match for geeks in viral video stakes
article Wednesday November 29, 2006

Sex may sell, but geeks embarrassing themselves is the order of the day when it comes to viral videos.

American company The Viral Company has compiled a list of the top ten viral videos with some surprising results.

Paris Hilton's sex tape and Kylie Minogue's revealing Agent Provocateur advertisement both made the top five, but it was a Star Wars wannabe and a lip-synching nerd who claimed the top two spots.

With an estimated 900 million views, Canadian high school student Ghyslain Raza, aka Star Wars kid, topped the list with a video of him attempting to master the art of the jedi - using a golfball retriever as a stand in light sabre.

Best known as the 'Numa Numa' dance, 19-year-old Gary Brolsma's enthusiastic lip-synch and dance to Dragostea Din Tea, by Romanian pop band O-Zone, came in at number two with 700 million views.

Paris Hilton's infamous sex tape rounded out the top three videos with 400 million views, closely followed by Kylie Minogue's lingerie-clad romp on a mechanical bull, at 360 million views.

Check out the top ten videos below. No, we haven't linked to Hilton's sex tape but if you're one of the three people out there who hasn't seen it, one word: Google.
