Bert and Ernie recording their voices for TomTom. This is perhaps the funniest viral ad for a product that I've seen.
TomTom in-car navigation systems offer custom voices to read out directions, and their latest additions are from Sesame Street. This is the promotional video, showing what the recording session was like... [SLYTPB]

"What is the sound of color? We asked that question of 5 musicians. We assigned each musician a different color. They wrote 5 tracks. We gave the colors and tracks that inspired them to 5 directors."
The Sound of Color contains the songs and videos that were created. The site and free downloads are only available through March 15.

Clearification Microsoft is launching a viral marketing campaign for Vista. It's only half done - it wraps up in January.
Demetri Martin stars in a series of webisodes about his "rare condition". The best part of the campaign are the idle ramblings of Demetri on the main page.
The campaign consists of an
rss feed, a podcast, and the webisodes.

Ten contestants. Ten days. They all grew up in shelters -- but one of them will claw his or her way to the top. It's the
Meow Mix House, where
ten cats will vie to become Meow Mix's Feline Vice President of Research and Development. (And, win or lose, they will all be adopted by families.)
The webcams.

Pimp My Burger. Burger King Germany produced a full-length parody of
Pimp My Ride, right down to the before/after camera swipes, the theme song, and "4-inch buns." If all Pepsi Blue viral marketing campaigns were as well-done as this one, I don't think I'd complain about them as much.
