Of course, the video was quickly exposed as complete bullshit. As it turned out this week, the poor buggers featuring in the video had been conned into roles as enthusiastic would-be rapists by Zhang and his co-pilot Seth Leach. They were pretty fucking furious. Yet, despite the fact that the whole thing played out like a weird GCSE drama improvisation, it was watched over 7 million times. Basking in his internet success, Leach slung his stooges a cheeky message on Facebook telling them to "just go with it dude," adding, "we will take care of you." By "it," he seemingly means the whole "being recognized forever as a wannabe rapist" thing.

The girl in the fat suit then goads these men into looking at her chubby face by asking them for compliments and posing leading questions like, "Appearances don't matter though, do they?" Most of the guys make their excuses and piss off either a) because they don't want to ask this weird woman why she's clearly wearing a fat suit or b) because they're (arguably, quite reasonably) annoyed she's grossly misled them about her appearance.At the end, the beautifully thin woman reveals she's not actually a hideous, fat mess and (ohjesusthankgod) informs the only guy who's stayed that she's an undercover babe in a genuinely breathtaking display of smuggery. Omg Guyz r such shallow dicks, aren't they?Take another example of how these "social experiment" videos have shit up the internet recently—last week's Swedish domestic violence video, which racked up 3.7 million views. The gang of merry men responsible for this video are pranksters called STLHM Panda, whose usual kooky schtick, they say, is "doing social experiments, joking with people and documenting the society we live in."
