The video went viral; it has been seen by more than 500,000 people.
It did not say when the video was posted, in fact the article did not have a post date from what I could tell but judging by the comments, within the last day or so.
Here is a problem, when I looked up the video it did in fact have more than 500,000 views. Yes I said views, not people. The reason why is that YouTube does not count individual people, check for yourself http://www.youtube.com/t/faq. But that is not the main problem. The main problem is that the video was posted on YouTube Feb 8, 2011. As of this post 338 days have gone by and the video was viewed by 568,410. That's is about 1,681 views per day. How is that viral? Google define says viral is An image, video, advertisement, etc. that is circulated rapidly on the Internet. The current most watched video today (Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus || Spoken Word, of course something religious would be number one but whatever!) has 2,849,184 as of this writing and was uploaded on Jan 10, 2012. The video has been on the internet for 2 days and has almost 3 million views, now that's viral.
I do not know what the cap should be, maybe 100,000 views in one day? Or something similar to how the RIAA does certifications. Whatever it is, it needs to happen because the word Viral is being overused faster than the Jesus video!

Just because this post might garner 5 views in one day doesn't mean that 5 people saw it nor that it has became viral!
