>> ^pipp3355:
>> 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):

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?

He's retarded, his brother is an asshole, his mother is weak and has no authority in her own house. This is sad.

Bruno on Conan
Fuck him.
He's crass and, obviously, an attention whore.
But everyone has to kiss his ass, I guess.
Smooch the heinie.

Who else got away with that shit?
Mel Brooks? Woody Allen? Jerry Lewis?
Not even. Not one of them used people as props.
but isn't that the point and what makes the character so funny? i totally agree that everything about him is completely outrageous and distasteful - thats why we like him! personally i love his slapstick humour the most (e.g. the naked fight in borat) i think he is a talented physical actor and often demonstrates a keen awareness of his body, gesuture and space.

Creepy New Scientology Commercial 2
That's very effective, well-made commercial. This is going to hit a lot of sad people right in the sweet spot.
It's also pretty evil for doing that.
amen to that. also, i think it should not go unnoticed that TWO advertisements for the scientology brand have made it to the top 15 of the sift at the same time... maintaining controversy is part of scientology's marketing tech because it creates attention and curiosity.
i remember i spotted a scientology flash advertisement on the sift once.. maybe about a year ago.. and i posted it in sifttalk and it was very quickly removed. yet here we are about a year later.. with two full advertisments about scientology in the top 15. please do not underestimate the effectiveness of this cult.
