Sukerkin I am with you that this was staged. If nothing else they prodded the other guy to get it going. I mean they had their crew there to film it.
Uh, the 'film' seemed to consist of a cell phone camera, which pretty much everyone has now (well, not me, but I'm a caveman). I don't think it was staged. Just like the Epic Beard Man, it's citizen journalism and we're going to be seeing a lot more of it.
