I first noticed this vid popping up on the Facebook walls of some of my self-proclaimed "indoor kid" friends this past weekend, but apparently it was launched into the public eye on July 3, after comedian Jimmy Kimmel tweeted about the comedic merits of the now-famous vid.

I was planning on reaching out to YouTube user Hungrybear9562 (a.k.a Paul Vasquez and the man behind the rainbow) for an interview, but it seems CBS's Shira Lazar beat me to the punch. She conducted a rather interesting Q&A with the man himself, in which it is revealed that even though Vasquez posted the vid of himself "freaking out" about the rainbow in Yosemite, California back in January, it only had a few hits until this past weekend. Now it has about 1.5 million.

I could describe the video more, but I suggest watching the interview, original video and my favorite of the many remixes below. All hail the newest viral meme, which is thankfully Gaga-free. Unless Vasquez is planning an encore...
