Viral world: what caught fire on the internet this week

WANNABE PA 'INTERVIEWS' SPIELBERG After not hearing back from world-renowned animation studio Dreamworks about a job as a PA, Christopher Woodring took matters into his own hands, making an impressively realistic edited video of him 'interviewing' Steven Spielberg, who created the company. Using old interview footage from 1993, Woodring gets Spielberg to personally endorse him for the PA position and compliment the young man on his "wonderous eyes". Spielberg even appears to be saying of the wannabe PA that that he "could not understand why someone so obvious was so forgotten".

GUESTS RUN WILD IN SLO-MO Bruton Stroube Studios, a media outfit in St Louis, Missouri, made their open house a memorable one after setting up a Slo-Mo booth with a Phantom Miro LC320S camera, which shoots an astounding 1,500 frames per second. Footage of the five-hour session was assembled into a compilation video, where participants – who were supplied with 11 kegs of beer - can be seen in wow-factor detail.

KITTEN WITH TWO FACES A cat owner in Amity, Oregon got a shock on Tuesday when she realised her newborn kitten had two faces. Stephanie Durkee thought her children were "crazy" when they told her about the kitten, who was rejected by its mother. The kitten, named Deucy, has just one body and set of organs, but meows loudly from both mouths. Deucy has been dubbed the 'Janus' cat, after the Roman god of beginnings and endings who is represented by a double-faced head.

ARMY CHIEF TEARS INTO SEX OFFENDERS Lt-Gen David Morrison has laid down the law on sexual abuse in the Australian army after 17 men, some of whom are senior officials, were alleged to have made and distributed "explicit and profane" emails and images that are demeaning to women. Morrison condemns the offences in blunt Aussie style, saying that anyone who "thinks that it is okay to behave in a way that demeans or exploits their colleagues has no place in this army. If that does not suit you, then get out... There is no place for you amongst this band of brothers and sisters."
