Man Gives Abercrombie & Fitch Clothing To The Homeless To Rebrand The Company

May 152013

Abercrombie & Fitch has been battered with negative press ever since the CEO of the fashion clothing brand publicly announced that he only wanted ‘the cool kids’ to wear his clothing. That’s why he only hires attractive people and doesn’t make plus sizes of his clothes.

(Apparently no other clothing company hires attractive people…)

The web exploded in anger to this revelation.

As a way to stick it to the man, Gkarber set out to change the brand. He bought out all the A&F clothing he could find at the thrift shop, and headed to Skid Row in Los Angeles, one of America’s largest populations of homeless people, where he handed out the high fashion clothes to the needy.

Now, in just two days, the video has garnered over 1.9 million views, and a grueling debate over the content creator’s tactics.

Many feel involving the homeless was taking advantage of them. BeauxSelector asks, “Er…but what if the homeless don’t want to be ‘Fitched’?! I’m sure people living on the street might welcome new or warmer clothing, but to use them as pawns for this sort of agenda seems a bit misguided to be honest.”

The story is further covered on Time, Mashable, and NYDailyNews.

Frenchman Sneaks Into Private VIP Party Pretending To Be Bodyguard For Gwyneth Paltrow

May 152013

In his latest video, French actor and prankster Gonzague attempts the Bodyguard Challenge.

Unlike the ubiquitous challenges that pepper YouTube, such as the cinnamon challenge, this challenge requires some real life situations that are hard to come by.

Such as an elaborate VIP party hosted for big time celebrities.

For the self imposed challenge, Gonzague attended the Cannes Film Festival in Paris, France just as celebrities were making their way to the VIP party.

Naturally, the celebs were surrounded by many bodyguards, so he simply joined the circle of men, and acted tough and professional, telling people to watch out for his famous client.

And just like that, he was swept away with the rest of the VIP’s into the party.

“I just got in with Gwyneth Paltrow,” he says into his secret mic with a look of surprise on his face.

“I’m Gwyneth Paltrow’s new bodyguard! Challenge succeeded!”

Disappearing Friend In Photo Prank

May 072013

Magician Rahat is famous online for melding his outrageous magic illusions with his pranks.

Back in March he teamed up with fellow YouTube prankster Jack Vale to pull off their imaginary friend photo prank.

On a busy street Rahat would ask passersby to photograph him with his arm around nobody. After taking the picture, the volunteers would be freaked out to discover Rahat’s friend under his arm. Of course they took the trick picture together before the prank.

Now, the duo have teamed up again, this time performing their previous prank in the reverse concept. While standing next to Jack, Rahat would ask people in the mall to take a picture. The volunteers would simply assume Jack was with him and take the picture of them standing together.

But afterwards, Rahat would claim he blinked and asked to see the photo. Only then would Jack quietly run off as the volunteers would be left scratching their heads as they look at the photo they themselves just took of two men that now only contains one.

“But where’s the other guy?” they would ask. “Where’s your friend?”
