    So it's a slow day at work.
    Anyone seen that Christmas Eve/Christmas day video of some Asian guy giving a homeless man $100?
    http://youtu.be/AUBTAdI7zuY
    This video has 30 million views and the guy set up a donation page for this.
    (If you've already seen it don't bother watching the video again, otherwise you're giving the YouTuber more $)

    Here's where it gets fun. According to the "homeless" mans own brother he claims it's all fake and staged. An eyewitness also states they saw the "good deeder" and homeless man show up in the same car before they took their places and put on a show. These new claims are blowing up and giving this guy a run for his money. He responded on social media that he'll take "legal action" against these false statements.
    Here's their RT response
    http://youtu.be/1e1LWyHegs0
    Ooo big guy, they put you on a platter and call you out on it and you jump straight on the gun. He'd better have a good lawyer too.
    Guess I'm rather passionate about the truth which is why I'm posting this.
    I suppose this is meant to be a heartwarming act caught on video to garner support from the American people. It's horseshit to actually believe this and you can clearly watch the video and depict how staged it really is. It really pisses me off how so many people have donated to this fluke and to take advantage of people to gain $ by staging a good deed.

    Regarding their RT interview, I left a nice comment on YouTube to help point out simple flukes in which they share.
    "Look at the Asian guys face, it's body language 101. I see the guilt, the avoidance of reality, the 'I'm saving my own ass, and y'all don't know it' look. Now look at the "homeless" man's face, you can tell he thought of his responses beforehand, trying to play off how he just now learned about hearing "false allegations" BS you came in the same car with him!
    It's so easy to spot a liar. Asian kid is just trying to uphold his rep, or whatever he has left of it"
    "2:46 easy proof. When he starts mentioning false allegations Asian boy turns on defensive mode.
    1. Folds his arms
    2. Starts blinking a lot
    3. Quick to respond
    4. Has to take attention away from his face by drinking water
    5. His facial expression shows he's frustrated and looks mad

    Time to discuss
    /end rant

    ...the real joke is that "news media" (so-called) actually reported on this video when it came out...

    I think almost all the "good deeds pranks" on YouTube are fake. Even if it were real, those youtubers giveaway a hundred dollars and Then make thousands off of the video they post. I don't think they would ever do the "good deeds" if there weren't a camera recording them for youtube.

    I just feel bad for the people that actually donated to the page. Maybe I shouldn't feel bad for their stupidity but they probably thought they were helping a cause.
