The latest - All men are prowling bastards - video. A social experement of course

Lapin

Woman pretends to be drunk in public, watch what happens when she asks men for directions.

Article with video

Can't really say much more about this shít in case I get accusations of misogyny.

Although this line made me laugh. "The man behind the video is Stephen Zhang, an entrepreneur who specialises is social marketing".

An entrepreneur in pulling cheap stunts to paint a negative image would be a better description.

Fierce shortage of sabre-tooth tigers to run from these days. That's why you have people going around making stupid videos to make/unmake some stupid point or other.

Wasn't it revealed that the men are acting in the video too?

1 out of 5 offered genuine help.

With that kind of solid evidence it is sufficient to label half the population of this planet as sleazy, creepy potential rapists.

Sterling work.

It was fake apparently. The guys in the video aren't too happy about it as they were told it was for some kind of comedy sketch. Google it.

If you couldn't tell from the video itself, its fake: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/11/that-drunk-girl-viral-video-was-a-hoax.html

Apparently a lot of the men involved are pretty angry about this- one I think nearly lost his job because how this was portrayed when it was released.

If the reports are true its basically a dishonest and immoral attempt to stir up controversy, which apparently was very successful until the truth came out.

No not too happy at all, I'd say lawyers will be getting involved.

The giveaway should've been the terrible acting, especially at the end, the ratings and comments disabled, and the fact that all their faces weren't blurred.

The Internet. Faking it since 1999…

Hollywood ****hole. If reports are true that the men were actors who were lied to ( still revealing how desperate people are in Hollywood) then Zhang can expect a nice little lawsuit for himself.

comments disabled

The comments were only disabled after the video was found to be a fake. Despite the poor acting quite a lot of people thought it was real.

Some people will leap at the chance to believe what they want to believe.

This^^^^

Do a quick google search to see the amount of outrage displayed at the original video. That's probably understandable if it were true. What's less understandable is how many sites haven't quite been able to come to terms with it being faked yet- lots of edits of the 'its possible that it might happen to be fake though we're not convinced yet....' Variety. Its amazing how unwilling people are to step back from their original position when its shown to be in incorrect. I think the internet might even make it worse because any admission of your mistake is so much more public

I'm more of a lurker than a prowler.

They guys have come out saying that they were set up and not told how they would be portrayed.
It's pretty bad, there's enough bad stuff in the world happening on a daily basis without resorting to making sh*t up like.

I see he's disabled comments on the video. It's a wonder he hasn't been advised to take it down yet.

Frankly, I don't give a f*cking sh*t

Her acting was terrible and each situation was very staged. If you watched that video and saw the guy was involved in social marketing you would have to be very stupid to believe that was real or at least be a bit suspicious. Looks like a guy attempting to make a name for himself after the walking in NY video.
