[The video is not very good quality, but it's impossible to mistake the skinny blond boy for anyone other than Peter Pan. A cluster of parasites scurry past him as he turns his head quizzically to something off screen.

[littlecrazyface]

I dunno, but all the comments on the video keep saying it.

Well, if they're saying that the video's gone viral, that means that it's become mainstream or popular because it's been shared around the internet - in this case via YouTube. Usually viral videos are pretty humorous, but on some occasions, like ours, they're popular because they capture real-life events. It doesn't matter what the video is of, it's viral if it gets passed around from person to person.

[Tim is too nice to give Peter that link. Damn.]

[littlecrazyface]

No, illusions.

[voice]

[littlecrazyface]

Blimey! Does that mean they don't believe I could really kill that thing?

[moarlikeinept]

Probably, if that's what they're commenting about it.

[littlecrazyface]

Well bugger that.

[badtowurst]

In internet terms, it means something that's popular.
