Are people voting for this entertained by it, or do they actually think it's a funny idea for a staged event? I'm either lost on the humor or intelligence of others here....

I think possibly, people didn't realise that it was a staged event, until Jeremiah pointed it out.

i voted for it before i read the comments. i suck.

I suspected staging; still a funny concept. In the 'real world', they could've immediately sequestered the blocks so Guiness folks could perform a recount of the # of blocks to confirm the record...

Even if it was staged, that's still a terrific prank! *promote
