That viral post about a guy falling asleep on a bus turned out to be a whole marketing stunt
I was about to share it to my friends when I noticed the logo on his shirt was too crisp for a real video, has anyone else caught fake viral moments like that?

Reminds me of that time someone posted a video of a "homeless guy" playing piano beautifully at a train station. Turned out he was a Juilliard student filming a music video. The comments were full of people saying they cried and wanted to help him. Felt kind of dirty when the truth came out. These companies are getting way too good at making fake moments look real.

Wait, are we really sure this is a stunt though? Like, could it not just be a really weird real moment that got caught on camera? I seen plenty of "real" viral clips that had accidental product placements or random logos that looked fake but were just good editing, you know?
