A Psychological Trick......Hmm?

Cocaine Princess

I'd like to think I have a good sense of humor. I like a good joke every now and then after all they say laughter is the best medicine. As for pulling pranks, it's been ages since I pulled one. I use to when I was little, nothing too extreme though. I remember hiding around the corner in one of the hallways in our house and yelling boo to my sister almost scaring her to death which probably explains why she tormented me so much. For instance for years she convinced me that I was adopted and even made me believe there was an actual monster living in my closet.

Anyways, pranks can be fun, other times I fail to see the humor in them and there are some pranks that just cross the line......as is the case in the video below.  

An Italian duo by the name of Matteo and Diego have an online production company called DM Pranks Productions. Matteo, one of the men behind the video, said the 'Clown Prank Film '- which took ten days to make - was incredibly unique. The pranksters have been filming pranks since they were at college but only started uploading their videos onto YouTube last July. The three-minute video which has now been watched by nearly 3million on YouTube, shows the scary-looking clown shocking different strangers with his violent ways.

In the first prank, the clown - who is dressed head-to-toe in usual circus attire - is shown hiding behind a corner in a near-empty car park, with a lifeless body at his feet.

As soon as two men walk past, the clown smashes down his iron hammer onto the man's head, watching as a pool of blood splatters out onto the concrete below.

The clown is then seen laughing hysterically as the two frightened men run off screaming into the distance.

"The clown prank has been the most difficult and risky prank we ever did," said Matteo. "Then the filming process has been something really long. We waited for hours and hours to find the good victims.'

For this video, the pair avoided children, people with animals and anyone who could have been aged over 40. The two filmmakers decided to avoid girls because they were worried about the fake blood. "Maybe some girls could get shocked while a male might have a stronger mind. explained Matteo. Also we don't reveal straight away that is a prank because people will get mad in less than a second. Once they get calm and smile we reveal the prank. It's a psychological trick that works extremely well in the end and everyone goes away smiling.'

Now, I'm not just saying this because I'm a girl  BUT I really don't find any of this funny. How about you, do you think any of it is funny? How would you react if you were the victim and then had been told this had all been an elaborate prank? Would you be all smiles?
