This is probably one of my favorite of my videos. Spencer and Pipistrello are, of course, acting. But the reactions are all genuine. We discover that people feel so sorry for adorable Spencer that they’re willing to «white lie» to protect him from a lunatic dad. It’s also amazing that almost nobody, because of the awkward moment, noticed the camera which was not hidden.
There’s been a lot of debate about what’s real and fiction in my videos. Yes, I shaved my head. For more about this debate see:

Thanks to Spencer and Pipistrello for their courage in this tricky prank, and for the victims who «rolled with the moment.» 🙂
