Viral rewind: Never forget the time Carly Fiorina called Barbara Boxer’s hair “so yesterday”

You held out for as long as you could, but one day — against your better judgment — you clicked on a viral video. A song about chocolate rain. A man going full-psycho over double rainbows. Rebecca. Effing. Black. You didn’t feel great about it, but you just couldn’t help it.

We may never have a hard-and-fast gauge on what makes something go viral — something to do with wisdom tooth extraction meds? — but we can still, retroactively, attempt to make sense of some of it. That’s why every week we’ll be taking a look back at the things that went viral exactly five years prior.

Here’s what was buzzing around the Internet for the week of June 13, 2010:

Carly Fiorina kicked off her presidential campaign last month with a video of herself powering off Hillary’s announcement with a remote, an all-too-fitting — if not stupidly on-the-nose — piece of imagery for the former Hewlett-Packard head whose political strategy, dating back to 2010, has been premised on the “sorority girl” taunting of her female opponents.

She’s attempted to power them off, if you will, one by one with cheap jabs at their fashion choices — from sunglass etiquette (“Who wears sunglasses at a Chipotle?”) to pantsuit flaunting (“Picking out pantsuits is what Hillary considers a ‘hard choice’? I’m over here fixing ISIS stuff.”).

This job killer has no qualms about commenting on other women's appearance...the hypocrite.

She doesn't have a leg to stand on in that department. She really is a nasty piece of work.
