Jeez who piped NOS into the room?


random thought: has there been any research done about using different types of gases to lure consumers into stores / shopping malls / fast food restaurants? an obvious one is gases that smell really nice, i think they're used already... but what about legal psychoactive gases?

watching this 2 years later... why did i put 'courtesy of pipp3355" in the title? today i'd be more inclined to run with an instakarma kinda title. also, this feels incomplete without keyboard cat.

yeh but its advertising. sifters don't like advertisements.

This year in papakura, there were no deaths during the easter period.

Easter: the resurrection of Jesus from the dead on the third day from his crucifixion.

Atheists: just a coincidence?

fake.

a viral for what tho? i can't tell what product the bottle is.

shit.. yet another in a series of recent sifts that i can't tell if they are fake or not. seriously.. i just... can't decide..

Upvote simply for the pure meta of it.


yeah i agree, i don't think its the best one but a legitimate continuation of the meme nonetheless. this actually prompted me to check out the wikipedia article on it... which i found quite interesting:

>> 1. ... answer deathcow's question "how does he get annoyed 2 seconds after the guy sets the camera down?"

There were several 5 second-ish pauses throughout the rant. It isn't unreasonable to think he walked in during a pause rather than at the very beginning. Is the mom in on the faking as well?


>> 2. Explain why the SPONSORS of this video don't want this on youtube.

I haven't seen that statement, but I doubt it means sponsors like "people who pay you to represent a product". It could mean parents or guardians... I have no idea though. It just seems that if it was meant to be faked then they could have easily written something "believable". The specific wording of that comment doesn't really support either stance on the video... it's just an odd comment.

If I found out one of my (hypothetical) kids was posting stuff like that about their brother/sister then I'd sure as hell have it taken down immediately.


>> 3. Answer Sandman's question: why take a video of the video? / Explain why this is a video of a youtube video.

According to the description the original youtube video was recorded by someone else and was reposted when the original was taken down shortly thereafter. I don't know why someone would use that method, but not everyone knows how to download youtube videos as a video file.



It may be fake, but if it is then that is some amazing acting and composure. What is more likely, a kid having severe emotional problems, or two brothers and an older lady faking multiple videos flawlessly without ever once breaking character?

For anyone who is convinced this is fake (or real for that matter):

In reply to this comment by budzos:
This one could be fake. I wouldn't doubt that they started making fake videos after the first real one. Although this looks more real than fake to me. In answer to the 3 questions:

1. It's more than two seconds, and the brother is already pissed off

2. They are hardcore WOW players. Buddy is probably in a clan or some shit. The sponsor part is probably a lie or excuse, or maybe they're in some weird church/cult/the Shriners where you have a "sponsor". Maybe their family is well-off and he's being sponsored into a country club or private college. Etc.
OR
When the first video was recorded, this being the age of YT they realized they had gold and the "sponsor" is someone who is trying to make T-shirts or get them an agent or something. Now the sponsor thinks he's going to be sent to jail for driving this kid to suicide or something and has asked them to stop.

3. Why does a video of a YT video mean it's fake?

ok after reading the above comments by psychologic and budzos i'm less convinced this is fake.. and now just.. unsure.. an agnostic-atheist if you will... but i will keep an eye out for this on the interwebs and report back to the sifts if i find anything... one thing tho.. if this IS real then i'm definitely not OK with it because its bullying, plain and simple... i would hope his school or parents intervene and provide him with the kind of support he needs.

for the record, i think lesbians are awesome.

*facepalm*

for people who think this is real, try this:
