Drunk Girl Experiment Was a Hoax And I Knew It!

It turns out that the "Drunk Girl Experiment" where she wanders the streets acting like she's drunk and guys try to take her home was nothing but a hoax and let me be the first to say, I KNEW IT! The video has over 9 million views on YouTube and it turns out, the producers of the video, according to Break.com,  tricked the male actors into thinking it was a joke.

"They were tricked into looking like scumbags because they thought it was going to be for a joke.  Instead, the producers turned the joke on them by releasing a video that says “hey, look at these rapists!”

The post on Break.com goes on to say:

"This video is the worst kind of fake it could possibly be.  At a time when people are seriously and legitimately trying to discuss and be open about sexual assault, and there’s so much tension, misunderstanding and confusion  between victims, their advocates, casual observers and those men who feel any sort of #YesAllWomen discussions are an attack on them that a video like this is an insult to everyone.  It’s fake, so it trivializes the actual idea of sexual assault...This social experiment proved one thing really well – Stephen Zhang and his crew, who made tens of thousands of dollars off of this, are deceptive scumbags.  Maybe it’s time to stop watching his videos."

And I couldn't agree more. When talking to our Digital Managing Editor (DME) I told him it was fake before this info came out, because I thought some of the acting in the end was terrible and looked forced. FAKE! And you heard it here first. (Or at least our DME did!)
