## Transcript

>> I'm Dan Fletcher with TIME's NewsFeed. This is Steve Snyder. We're gonna take you through what was trending on the web this week. So, Steve, Lost.

>> It's over.

>> It's over. We have hilarious things up on NewsFeed this week. We had the reactions of people who rush to their monitors for the reactions, all of them crying in various countries and--

>> It's a freak show.

>> It's over.

>> What do we do now?

>> Six seasons.

>> What's the point of living now?

>> There's the other thing everyone is rushing to online. The live feed of the Oil Spill and what was that? The Top Kill?

>> Top Kill, we had Junk Shot, which I think is the sequel to Top Kill.

>> And it just came out yesterday at the associated press. I was saying this is officially now bigger than the [ unk ].

>> So, then a lot of people living for pictures too. Trying to understand, you know, why this is happening, what the effects are. I mean, the scope of this thing keeps getting bigger as it looks like maybe the spill part of it maybe coming to an end / or but the scope of it keeps getting bigger.

>> So, the other thing that was big online this week, you know, Google.

>> Google Pac- Man.

>> This was a one day thing. Google does these doodles, these illustrations but this was a first interactive one time to the 30th anniversary of Pac- Man.

>> Yeah.

>> Thirtieth anniversary of Pac- Man.

>> And then it's now free forever?

>> This thing was so popular, Steve, that they made it free forever. You can go to Google. com / pacman and actually play this game.

>> Yeah, I lost a couple of hours ago doing that this week, start timing. Vodka eyeshot.

>> Vodka eyeshot.

>> This is the thing.

>> Why don't we think of that? Why didn't I think of that when I was--

>> I'm quite glad and I think of it.

>> Oh, yeah.

>> That these kids are-- they're taking the shots and absorbing alcohol through their eyes. Not only that, they're putting it on YouTube.

>> Yeah, let's go, shot. So, let's open your eyes.

>> So, they pour it into your eye?

>> You play it in a shot glass, you know.

>> Not only did we lose Lost. We also lost 24 Law and Order but American Idol, it's over.

>> American Idol.

>> It wasn't the end of American Idol but it felt like the end of American Idol because we are losing Simon.

>> Who won? Let's spoil it.

>> Lee DeWyze, he won. Some had said he was not the best singer but he seemed to be more popular at the very end of it even William Hung made his grand return.

>> And it haunted everyone's nightmares across America.

>> Okay. That's old west.

>> I get my hands up right now.
