To get 4 million views in one day, pick up your friend and drop her - CNET

Why on earth would someone watch this, you might ask?

Well, to begin with, she's lifting a friend who's doing her very best to play dead.

The payoff, however, comes once the lift is completed. Curley is so overjoyed at her feat that she drops her friend -- the way a weightlifter might drop the bar -- apparently forgetting she's just cast a real human being to the floor.

It takes a few seconds for her to realize what she's done.

Then her remorse is so genuine that it's likely behind millions of melted hearts; the video has been shared by more than 4 million people in 24 hours.

I'm not suggesting for a moment that you should try this at home. Nor at the office. Nor in your school playground.

Even if you did, the shtick has been done. You'd be a mere copycat. Copycats never prosper. Ask Apple and Samsung.
