Because it doesn't seem like it's footage from the film itself, yet is something that has been put out to make the rounds of the internet in anticipation for the product WB are selling.
It's not explicitly a trailer or teaser. It's mysterious and really short, so it's designed to create buzz and get shared a bunch.
Why is everyone calling the teaser "viral" ?
I noticed that when it aired on TV there was a second or two of extra "footage", mostly just quick shots of Zod's helmet. This is the best I could and excuse the crappy cellphone snap and DVR bar but it was a pain in the ass to pause it just right:
Don't go into that viral thread if you like this Zod/Shannon or anything about MOS.
Feels like trolls coming out who haven't kept up with the movie at all smh
"what makes ultra-terrible is the fact that it reeks of TDK-joker type viral campaign and it doesnt fit Zod at all "
Not true at all.
Reading impressions of the teaser online is hilarious.
People so fake-angry.
You fucking kidding me, WB?
Heads up - SFx Magazine issue #235 will be devoted to Man of Steel and celebrate Supes 75th anniversary, on sale May 1st.
Plus the 3D print of the 2nd Man of Steel trailer is attached to Jurassic Park 3D!
Just browsed through the Off Topic forum. Is there a Viral Zod thread?

I hate talking about character that I have followed all my life with people that are exposed to a sliver/no history of the character and they insist they are right and know just as much.
I felt ill reading that.
no, what was wrong with that viral clip? it's the perfect place. get a teaser in front of the mouth breathers.
It's all absurd. Calling it the worst thing ever lol Not knowing shit about Zod, some losing interest cause of a 30 second viral clip and others thinking this will have no action... like the 2nd trailer didn't even show anything. Heck people complaining about Shannon and him saying "My name is General Zod" wtf was wrong with that just smh
A 30 second viral clip shouldn't cause that kinda of reaction. Just odd.
I will do push-ups and sit-ups. I will rise.
Our Response to General Zod:
We have received your transmission. You have much to learn about Humans. We dont negotiate with terrorists.
Kal-El belongs to the people of Earth. He is not alone. He has US. Kal-El is *our* citizen.
Heres our ultimatum to you: You have until Tuesday, 5PM Pacific Time, to turn around. Or YOU face the consequences. Dont mess with the \S/.

The countdown at www.IWillFindHim.com ends about 5:20PM PDT Tuesday. Give or take a couple of minutes. The below image is a single frame from the "You Are Not Alone" video.
I image WB are most likely going to remove this now. Bombings and all.
I don't see why. We're the bombs set by rogue Kryptonians?
Because PR companies dont want to be talking about terrorists to promote a film when bombs are going off on american soil.

Superman just can not catch a break can he? if that trailer has anything bigger than a paper cup getting blown up I bet my left nut WB will not show it (and rightfully I guess)
The colours of his suit here are fucking perfect.
Micheal Shannon will be fucking awesome as Zod. Believe it. The guy has such an intimidating presence.
Russel Crowe will steal this movie.
i'm serious. Crowe was awesome in Miserables, looking forward to his performance in this movie.hahahahahahahahaahahah
Dont mess with the \S/.
