We’ve got a new example to cite when describing what happens when a video clip becomes popular. Since what seems like the beginning of time, the Victoria’s Secret online fashion show was the gold standard for overloaded streaming servers. Now we have Paris Hilton and her ad for Carl Jr.’s Spicy Burger, which brought the spicyparis.com site to its knees when it launched earlier this week. What I don’t understand is why the big crush to see Paris cavorting in a bathing suit? She’s already been in online videos displaying a lot less clothing.
