that's clearly a fake.

Are you kidding me? Who in their fucking right mind would build something that huge to make a 20 second video of it?!

[Skeeter]

people who want to be on videos

Easier to get on cops if you ask me.

I vote for fake.

Not that it's not cool, but you'd be surprised how many internet videos are made like this that turn out to be staged.

The fact that this video claims to be a live reporting but there's no logo of the news agency, no mention of the name of the reporter (like a window with his name/location) and also some fairly poor acting all leads me to think it's a fake.

If it's real though, I feel very bad for this guy.

You guys are right--


Constructed in January 2005 in the Olsen Library on NMU's Campus

I built this tower because people everywhere were wondering what the next structure would be. I wanted to do one that was rather unique, and I had built this one at home, and it was a blast to do. Unlike the original Pisa tower which has mortar and the such this one relies only on gravity to keep the lean. It is made completely hollow just as the original one is.
It took about six days to construct because it collapsed seven times before finally perfecting the lean. It took approximately 80 sets of Jenga to build this tower.
It was demolished by stringing a wire through the bottom of it which was hidden out of view of the camera that was filming the event. When 'interviewer' Mike Roy stepped around it with his microphone cord the wire was pulled to make it collapse. Watch the Movie Here.

on top of the things Kranar cited, the little smirks on the "actor's" faces at the beginning of the video are a dead give away.

Poker players notice such things.
