Remember eccentric Walmart greeter Mr. Willie? Two weeks ago, Cdedman90 published video focused on the super-center greeter in Maumelle, Arkansas, and his unique fist bump greeting method. Bam! That video currently stands with over 1.1 million hits.
Cdedman90 published this video focused on Wal-Mart greeter Mr. Willie of Maumelle, Arkansas back in December, but it has only gone viralviral this weekend.
Mr. Willie is well known around the area for his upbeat attitude and general coolness. Instead of greeting shoppers like 99% of greeters–with a simple ‘hello’–Mr. Willie offers those entering the store a ‘BAM’ first bump. And they love it.
“OK. Alright,” he says in an ever calming manner.
Now, the web has fallen in love. In just one day the video has garnered more than a quarter million views. It seems they may have found the next everyday person to become a short lived Internet celebrity.
As a kid, Mark Rober–who is viral video famous for his road kill experiment–grew a seriously rocking unibrow. But through high school he discovered the magic of tweezers, and by the 12th grade, he had blended in with the general population.
For years now, Mark has suspected that people with unibrows are discriminated against. As a man of science, he was determined to test out his hypothesis in a controlled manner.
He teamed up with his make-up artist friend who gave him a perfect looking, fake unibrow. Then he approached people at Walmart with simple, open-ended questions. As a control, he did the same with normal eyebrows.
After his inevitably short conversations, the test subjects would almost always comment about Mark’s unibrow.
After breaking down the numbers, Mark discovered the average response he received while ‘normal’ was over 30 words. While he was wearing his fake uni, it was only 16.
Scientifically, it is a possible to claim unibrow discrimination is real. Someone call the ACLU!
Also, teenage girls are way too liberal with their smart phone cameras.
Walmart already has a negative stigma attached to the world famous brand, so a video like this around the holiday season is the last thing a Walmart manager would want to see circling the web.
Apparently, three employees of a Walmart recorded themselves throwing boxed iPads in the back of the store. Anon Ymous posted the video a little more than two weeks ago, and already, the video has over 5.9 million views. Naturally, the ratings are over 90% negative.
This is one of those videos that there are countless copies of, but no one is sure who the original content creator is. None the less, this is the most viral Black Friday stampede video for this year, featuring a mob of shoppers (naturally) at Walmart, fighting and trampling each other to get a hold of a smart phone.
