created an viral story

-- "Groom creates viral storm twittering from altar" on Yahoo! Canada News on December 3, 2009

This is a prime example of how not to start an article. The word viral does not begin with a vowel sound, therefore created a viral story is the correct written form. Simple stuff, really. Today is December 5 and the error remains.

Yeah, but you gotta give the writer credit for spelling "altar" correctly.
