the 'lady steals from kid' black friday video is fake because lol white people dont steal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7klNQyyLpiA



http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/nov/27/black-friday-fight-video-fake-or-real/

quote:

Watch this video. (If you haven't already. It's getting shared a lot.)
Too good to be true?

Does that seem legit to you? Hmm.

Snopes ("Rumor Has It"), which exists to point out that there are actually things on the internet that are not true, makes some good points about the video's dubiousness:

The video starts with a mad rush, like someone had just yelled "Action!"

Mad rush of "shoppers." You Tube and user BlackFriday Fight

The lady with the Black Friday victim kid wanders in from off camera already carrying several of the boxes of everyone is fighting over. (How DID she get them?)

photo
How did she get these steamers? You Tube and user BlackFriday Fight

The Evil Woman In Red who snags the package from the kid could have instead just picked one of the remaining boxes from the pallet or the floor, right next to her evil feet.

Available steamers all over. (The condition of the woman at center is not known. We assume she got a steamer.) You Tube and user BlackFriday Fight

We would add:

Would a crowd of shoppers on this planet really make a mad rush for vegetable steamers? A digital bacon-donut deep fryer would be way more conceivable.
The clerk, who is dressed like a member of the Geek Squad, just stands there like an extra as the melee unfolds.
The account it was posted on is BlackFriday Fight, and it is the only video on the account.

These obvious red flags didn't stop actual newspeople from sharing on The Twitter. ("Going VIRAL!" We won't out them here; they know who they are.)

Of course, these things do happen. This scuffle – or scuffles, but it looks like the same store – looks way more believable. First they are scuffling over some electronic device, not something for healthful cooking.
"No, no, no, no. ..."

Also you have the guard coming in at the end of the first clip with that commanding "No, no no, no ..."

And of course, these have got to be legit:
"Yo Adrian, I got us a TV!"

Dude, look at the video. It's got nothing to do with projecting whatever pet racial bias you're going for, but simply nothing about the vid makes any sense

now that 4-year old can't steam their vegetables :( even though their mother is already holding three vegetable steamers, and there are at least a dozen of the same steamers all over the floor.

It's not like massive amounts of surreal and lovely behavior doesn't happen on black Friday. The only things you need to make a realistic black friday parody are two people behaving like retarded assholes and one to hold the camera and say worldstar over and over.

My first thought when I saw that video was that it doesn't look like a real product or a real store and everything is framed too perfectly to be a real video.

same. if it were legit it would look a lot lower quality and you wouldn't be able to hear anything over the screaming and terrible quality christmas music. also who the gently caress cares about a vegetable steamer and where's the drat entrance that these people are supposedly flooding in from?

i've had pizza beans, i've had kidney beans, and other beans

but lets be honest here. Black beans and whatever they use to make hummus chiqpeas or however it is is spelled are the good ones. The rest can go die in a gutter.

Have you had a nice cassoulet with haricots blancs? White beans in this instance are far superior. They are the master bean.

black beans have a rich flavor and texture that your white beans probably would loving ruin if they had their way.
