People React To Homeless Guy Trying To Give Money

by Kat George

What would you do if a homeless person offered YOU money? This video from fouseyTUBE (known for stupid pranks) explores what happens when a homeless guy offers people money on the street. I should add a disclaimer to this by saying the entire thing seems staged with actors, but maybe I'm just so much of a softie I don't believe that so many people who act with so much disdain towards the homeless. Walking by in silence and ignoring, sure, but so many people stopping to abuse the homeless seems a bit far fetched. But then again, maybe I'm wrong, and none of this is staged, and the world is a much more horrible place than I think it is.

The goal of the video is set out below [sic]:

"Going into this video, the end goal wasn't quite sure. You can never be sure because you can never know how people will react. It's a completely different video depending on if people react positively or negatively. This video wasn't one of those, "oh let's see if people offer us money." It was, "let's see how people feel about themselves when someone who is classified as "lesser" than them on societies class ladder offers them money." The results were not expected and not wanted. It doesn't matter how much you have in life if what you have in life takes away from you being humble. At the end of the day, even the most poor man can be the most rich depending on how much love he has in his heart. feel free to share."

Maybe you're more of a world cynic and believe the way the people react in the video is realistic. Watch below and judge for yourself:
