Every Terrible Ad Cliché You've Ever Seen in One Genius Video

Lab beakers and Chinese farmers. Kites and panoramic views of Costa Rica. Cars, babies and canned goods -- these are what advertisements are made of. Stock video provider Dissolve has created a brilliant ad by mocking (what else?) ads.

How does Mashable know what's going viral?
Mashable built a system called Velocity, which scours the social web, collecting lots and lots of data around how people are engaging with published articles. It then pulls all of that data back to Mashable, dumps it into our own predictive engine, and predicts which articles are about to go viral.
