"Willow - Los Angles" is Willow Smith daughter of a rather famous American actor.

The song being played in the background is "Whip My Hair" which is surprisingly Willow's current single.

It's an obvious attempt at viral marketing ;)

It makes me wonder what other viral ads there have been in the past.

    I pointed this out on Sunday. Willow and Jayden gave it away. ;)

    I didn't notice - does that mean the viral marketing failed or I failed? :(

    The only other thing like that I spotted was one of Jedward... although that was kind of obvious.

    I always had the TV on mute until the show actually started so it all went over my head.

    Yeah, I noticed it too. Is it viral though? I thought viral was something you can actively spread, rather than watch. I noticed tonnes of "i whip my...." funny pictures around (example), so I guess that is a viral element, as it acknowledges the song.

    I would say you are immune. Failure is not an option.

    I don't know, but if the Final Countdown drumming baby releases a single anytime soon I'll be first in line...
