Kids, gather ’round. Let me tell you about the time two guys tried to make a viral video—and let me tell about the time it ended in a concussion—all in the name of internet popularity.
In this terribly fake video, a man runs around around chasing someone who stole his phone. And of course he films the whole thing. Nevermind the fact he was carrying a phone and a mini video camera. Because who doesn’t do that, right?
Anyway, the chase goes on for a few minutes and then BAM, at 2:15, everything goes horribly wrong.
So kids, the moral of the story here: Don’t do it for the Vine. I mean, don’t do it for the page view. I mean, don’t do it for the YouTube dollars. Something like that.
