Viral Video Chart: Wayne Rooney rant and the Rent Is Too Damn High Party

Something's got Ian Holloway's goat. Boardroom pay leaping by 55% while almost everyone else feels the squeeze? Meh. The cap on housing benefit that could drive 200,000 people out of inner cities? Not a mention.

Instead it's the "frightening" direction of the business of football. "How wrong is the game?" the Blackpool manager rails in an extended diatribe, brought on by the apparent bullying of Manchester United by its star player's agents.

The founder of five-year-old US political outfit, Rent Is Too Damn High Party, rocketed into the viral stratosphere this week with his contribution to the New York governor candidates' debate on poverty, karate, gay marriage, and, well, rent. If you're here for a feline fill, take the next left at Non-embeddable-video Hill.

Finally, get ready to cry with a mixture of laughter and remorse. Here's two kittens, one ill-fated, and a lot of falling over.
