Why Is It Still Friday? Deconstructing The Friday Viral Video Panel

Rebecca Black's "Friday" somehow transcended the traditional viral video path and has become considerably bigger than anyone would expect.  From dozens of parody covers (may getting tens of millions of views) to being featured in a coming episode of Glee, this one artist did with a single YouTube video what stars haven't achieved in decades of work and millions of dollars in studio support.  Is Friday a fluke?  Can we learn anything from it?  Join a panel of online video experts as they examine the power of Friday (on a Wednesday).
