Even though influential celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton has for the moment decided to abandon the video file-sharing site YouTube, everyone in the industry can agree that the site has certainly changed the game. In fact, search engine juggernaut Google thought it was worth $1.65 billion. As we start 2008, and in honor of 2007, please enjoy the most watched YouTube video of the past year:

Battle in the Kruger, though quite long by YouTube standards, garnered 21.7 million views. Viral marketing experts frequently say that humor is the driving force behind sharing videos.

Does it surprise you that this was the most watched video?
