People in Brazil must not be grounded in reality.

I think superstition is taken more seriously in Brazil.

wow, this is just about the greatest thing I've ever seen. I'd like to see these people at Disneyland's haunted mansion

bwahaha. Brazilians scare easily it seems.

i don't know... maybe it's just because of the fact that you have a lot of crime in certain barzilian areas (at least that's the word, i don't know for sure). Maybe these people are just scared of getting robbed, shot etc.

This assumption is based on clichees, i don't want to offend anyone.

A couple of things. First of all, they're not going to show the clips where the people didn't freak out. Secondly, when they cut the video but keep the audio (which they do a couple of times), assume the people realized they were being idiots and stopped running.

Alright if this happened to ANYONE. You would at the very least have a moment of panic. I don't care what you believe. At first glance that would be pretty freaky.

I'm calling *fake on this one, not because the reactions were faked (although they could be!) but because when you factor in that ...

- these are the best reactions out of god knows how many takes
- and they cut the video, presumably when people stopped panicking
- many people would be too dazzled by the headlight to see anything more than a dude on a bike ... and some yellow blobs
- many, probably nearly all would think it's a demented mugger and not hang around to find out

... then all in all, you're left with a very misleading prank which has less to do with people afraid of being dragged to hell by a motorbike riding skeleton and more to do with people being afraid of a large, loud object appearing beside them on a dark road. Frankly, anyone who doesn't jump when that happens needs help. It's on par with jumping out from behind a wall and yelling "BOO!" at someone.

It was still funny.

Wouldn't it be a lot easier to get away running the other direction!?

It did a lot better this time round, but this is a dupe: http://www.videosift.com/video/Skeleton-on-a-Motorcycle-Prank

Yep. it's a dupe, and original still works. Needs to be discarded.

It is a dupe. Hate to be the bad guy but the other one is a lot older. Sorry *discard

Discarding this video (discard called by gold star member gorgonheap)

we definitely need a way to transfer the votes cast for this to the original.
