That guy running up the escalator would've been better off to've jumped over the rail - there'd've been plenty between him and the package to at least avoid shrapnel, and much of his hearing would've been saved.

It's staged. Also, that's a really good way to get shot, so don't try this at home.
Oh, I know it was staged, I just think it wasn't very educational. Or in good taste, for that matter.
Knowing that it was staged made me laugh. If it wasn't staged I woulda laughed at the first bullet.

reminds me of the staged prank about not making pranks in Brazil or some other South-american country.
Basically it's a guy hiding in postoffice box (where you deliver mail) and throwing mail out that comes into the box. Until one guy pulls a gun.
Basically a prank is funny until someone lets their bowels go in fright ... and it is kind of cruel ...

Well yeah. I always assume anything on youtube is fake until shown otherwise. It's still really funny. I applaud these pranksters for successfully trolling so many people though. A story has blown up online about one of the pranksters getting shot doing another bomb prank. I just read a five page thread and not one person questioned whether the story was legit lol. People will believe anything.

If I had a gun on me and was pranked like this, I certainly don't think I would shoot the guy. What if a 20 year old white guy or black guy threw his bag and ran away? I doubt I would be thinking "it's a bomb". The last thing I'm thinking when I see someone dressed up like a Muslim might on the street is bombs.

More like comedic tragedy....
The whole prank culture on YouTube in general is just a sad way to excuse being an asshole. Never got the appeal of it.

Yes and no... Reality TV only hurts the "actors" and people stupid enough to watch it (and I fall into that category from time to time :P). The real "pranks" fuck with innocent bystanders to get their jolly.
Having just watched the video... okay that is staged as hell so I don't particularly have much of a problem with this one in particular. There were some of those I actually got a grin out of.
Scaring the shit out of an asshole with a prank is great though. A few years back, I gave my neighbour 20 dollars to get me pot. He said the dealer robbed him, but I knew he was lying. I wasn't going to get into a fistfight over 20 dollars, so I just grabbed my cap gun, hid it behind my back, then shot it at his face. He flinched so bad lol. Like a little girl... the look on his face haha.
