I'm calling a "Broadcast News" foul on the insert cut to Sigourney Weaver on this video
http://www.tubechop.com/watch/181528


Bah Humbug! ;-) The BBC got cameras every where!



But you are right, the one shot is probably fake.

Probably fake. Why YouTube video of a LiveLeak video?

OK, I'll blame most of the discrepancy in details to the incredibly crapy quality of this video, I get about 1 frame per second at best and it won't fullscreen, so it's difficult to see anything clearly. I now see what you mean about the sheet metal/cab not being torn (but it was incredibly difficult to get it to stop on the one frame where that's visible). I think I also see the frame rail move, extreemly difficult to see, but it does seem to obscure part of the drive shaft when it breaks the cab mounts, then it does seem to rotate on that bend point and not break completely. My mistake. Still incredibly strange and possibly (probably?)faked, but not difinitavely. 'FAKE' retracted.

>> ^newtboy:
You assume the frame was bent in a flip. The problem with that theory is that the frame is cut clean through. If the frame rails were still there, bent or not, they would have made it impossible for the car (truck) to cleanly break in 2 that way. If you look closely, you can see the frame rails on the front of the vehicle, but not on the rear. It's possible the view is obstructed, but it's not possible that they both broke cleanly at the fold point, the same goes for the sheet metal. My guess would be it's upside down so they could cut the back half off easily.>> ^Payback:

It's not a car. It's a GM full size "Supercab" or "Cab Plus" pickup. The kind with the jump seats and half rear doors that only open when the main doors are open. What you are saying is a "cut through the back door" isn't a door at all. It's the back panel of the cab of the truck.
Looks like the frame got bent when it flipped. Also, the challenge with Chevys is AVOIDING bending them in half in that direction.


Well yes, that is an assumption given the frame LOOKS bent at the beginning, but you're mistaken on a couple points.
-The cab is not cut. What you see rising out of the water is a complete cab, with the rear window crushed and the panel just below the rear window pushed in.
-The frame is not cut. The frame has been weakened (like a power antenna in a car wash) and no longer has any rigidity. The point where the frame is bending seems to be at the rear transmission crossbrace or transfer case mount. The frame is acting like a hinge, about 3 ft in "front" of the cab-to-box gap. The rear most cab mounts have been ripped out as well.

what a fucking douchebag. the story was great up until "I was tricked, so now my dream became to trick other people out of their hard earned money".

And then again... he's a marketeer, so I would say the story is probably fake anyway.

Probably fake given that this is the same guy who is behind videos like this one:

I agree this isn't helping him build the case for "some random guy with a strange gift" but it also doesn't mean he manipulated the video. Perhaps staring in short YouTube movies is his third thing that he is "stupidly good at"

So many issues with this:
a) As stated... how about leaving him if this were the case?
b) My god, how pathetic was the attempt at destruction? Picking it up and dropping it a few times would have done far more damage than those light taps with the golf club.
c) His reaction seemed remarkably calm and not agitated... and who says 'You better hope my warranty covers this?'... and the way that last bit was framed, staged.... it's awfully fake like.

So... problems are: Probably fake, stupid reaction to a situation if real, and terrible attempt at destruction.

Stop letting facts get in the way of a good story!

Oh hey! Someone cried "fake" at an Internet video, how novel! Yeah it's probably fake but that doesnt make it any less appealing to me. Thanks for nothin'.

They're missing FOX talking about how this is really irrelevant because a Democratic president was sitting at the time, of course the real building of the country that made this all possible was done by Republicans, and the Democrats probably faked the whole thing anyhow.

Of course they wouldn't say it so politely, the O'numbnuts would be screaming at someone about how he's a moron because he believes the landing was real...

if this IS real...then WoW is clearly like heroine.

Have you ever sucked dick for WoW?


ROFL, well I've seen a kid try to sodomize himself with a remote for WoW...even those this is probably fake.

Also, I've seen real freak-out videos and they aren't much less of a freak-out than this one. I am sticking with WoW = video-game *drugs.

Depends on her history. Maybe she's had a couple kids, used to be a big girl, and worked really hard to lose the weight. You're probably right though. She looks pretty young to me, and I can't see any stretch-marks (though grainy-cam kinds of makes it hard to tell). But if she's young & has never had kids then yeah those bazongas are probably fake.

Because they had sensor bars over his junk I can't see how they probably faked it. That, and Mr Tape Junk at 1:05 might have had something to do with it.

Probably fake. Another excuse to step up attacks on domestic privacy.


I agree.

I also like to blame 4chan's /b board.
