Hasta La Gadget!

Some of the most viewed videos this week appeared moments after Friday’s magnitude 8.9 earthquake rocked Japan, and the subsequent tsunami washed over Sedai, in Miyagi Prefecture. There are plenty of videos of the devastation, the fires, and the water, but some of the most impactful videos are first-hand accounts filmed with cell phones that illustrate exactly how terrifying being in an earthquake can be. 

Aside from the events in Japan, the biggest hits on YouTube this week included Charlie Sheen’s appearance in a Funny or Die skit that either brings out the crazy in full force or proves to us all that he’s a marketing genius, Cyndi Lauper performing to soothe stranded passengers at an airport, a cheerleader who flips her lid, and more.
