Recently, Sam Pepper, a popular Youtuber (for both positive and negative reasons) posted a video in which he helps one half of a Vine-duo (Colby) prank his best friend of five years (Sam) by pretending to be killed right in front of him. For those that have not seen the video, I'll link it [LINK REMOVED - please search for this if you are really interested in viewing it]
What are your thoughts about this prank? It's caused a huge spark of controversy since being posted, with petitions rising to bring Sam Pepper off Youtube permanently. Some have found the video disrespectful to their own personal history, seeing as a lot of people in this world have lost a loved one. Some found it funny and told those that were 'overreacting' to 'chill out'. The people involved (Sam Pepper, along with Sam & Colby) argue that their purpose was to show their audience that life is short and we should hold on to our loved ones. They meant no harm and think there was nothing wrong with the prank.
What are your thoughts? As always, be respectful and don't get this thread shut down because that would blow.
EDIT: The name of the video is KILLING BEST FRIEND PRANK | Ft. Sam & Colby | Sam Pepper
