viral tot mom

[Jonathan Lighter]

Nancy Grace herself in a CNN appearance today was describing the "jailhouse
video" of Casey Anthony speaking with her parents.  As NG exclaimed, "The
tot mom goes *viral,* yelling that *she's* the victim, *she's" the victim!"

The video had nothing to do with the established sense of "going viral." It
was presented as evidence in a court of law. CA went "viral" on the video,
not after the video.

"Go wild" or "go ballastic" would fit here.
