I've got an idea for a viral but I dunno if A)its a shit idea or B)it's a bad idea
Here's the idea
I'll have a cartoon verison of my main character, based on the book cover design http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4080/4869014615_28393b334b.jpg
It'll be a head and shoulders shot to start with, with him holding up his book, prompting it, along the lines of
"Read all about me, Jacob Cox and my biggest mission yet, to get inside the Queens legs and sort out all the shit! It's gonna get nasty but if I'm going to raise to the occasions this needs doing, and fast!"
He then puts on a Rambo type bandanna turns around and walks off, revealing the Queens Legs is a pub.
The rivalry between the main characters bar and the pub down the road is one of the main aspects of the story, though not the only, so I could do more virals that are different
Agree with Nat; that's not a viral. Take a look at famous viral videos and note commonalities. Cute kids, cute animals, cute teenagers, people getting hurt and complex displays of invention (clever animation/big dance numbers etc) - those are the vids that go global. Sorry, but a cartoon designed to sell a book is not going to be an internet sensation.
