VIRAL VIDEO OF THE DAY - BLAME IT ON THE WEATHERMAN

FIRST OFF CHECK OUT THE COCKROACH GUY...

NOW CHECK THIS...

Jim Kosek has become an internet star after screaming his way through a forecast on February 5 as the ‘Snowmaggeddon’ storm hit the east coast. "Oh boy, 14 to 22 inches of snow," the 45-year-old warns calmly ... but then the screaming really starts. "Our paralysing, crippling, record-breaking storm comes today," he yells. "Road closures, flight cancellations in the hundreds, power outages by the tens of thousands, maybe the hundreds of thousands? Yes." Kosek’s video on YouTube has more than a million views, making him one of the biggest stars on the video sharing website, which is celebrating its fifth birthday (yes, it’s only five) this week. The weatherman, who gives a video forecast on accuweather.com, admits it’s OK to be ‘juiced, tanked and a little under the influence’ on air. On becoming an internet star after his theatrical forecast, he said: "It just so happened that somebody somewhere knew what they were doing, tossed it up on to YouTube. "And then the thing grew legs and went at a sprinter’s pace like crazy."
