Selfie Fail: When Your Pics Go Viral for All the Wrong Reasons!
Stupid Risk or a Worthwhile Prank?
This photo was taken from a video of a man determined to take a photo posing with a massive dirt tornado swirling menacingly behind him. Initially, this image could be seen as a testament to the extremes people go for internet fame. However, the twist here is that this daring scene was completely staged, a clever creation by the Melbourne-based company “Woolshed.”
It reminds us of other staged viral videos, such as the “Eagle Snatches Kid” video, which was actually a digital animation project by students as if we needed even more of a reminder that not everything online is as it appears.
