This is fantastic!
"Last Saturday we went to a popular mall in Virginia and conducted a bit of a social experiment. Using his real first and middle name, and with the help of just a few staged people, tons of people believed Thomas was a famous actor, including mall security. The mall assigned us a security detail who escorted us everywhere and helped close stores for the supposed celebrity. They also took us through private corridors to avoid the frenzy. Our cameras were quickly shut down, and most of our footage was captured with a single iphone. The following is just a taste of all the autographs, pictures, and people who wanted get close to all the commotion."
Re: Funny video: fake celebrity
That is awesome! Well played!
Those people have got to feel like dumbasses - especially the girl at the end!
hahahha, people can be so gullible!
and the tweet "Apparently Thomas Elliot is here... white girls goin crazy at the mall", haha!
I think I find it funny because I would totally stop/stare. I am awful with celebrity names. And sometimes forgetful with faces, so I wouldn't know the difference. When celebrities came to my summer camp last year because they were shooting a movie nearby and our camp is awesome for their celeb children, I got all giddy when in reality I would not have noticed or cared if nobody said anything.
