YESTERDAY, CONTROVERSIAL YOUTUBER Sam Pepper released his latest “prank” video and it’s causing controversy around the world.
It’s titled “Killing Best Friend Prank” and it does exactly what it says on the tin.
Pepper brought in Vine stars Sam and Colby to star in the prank – but only one of them was in on the stunt.
The five-minute clip shows Sam – who didn’t know he was being filmed – being “kidnapped” from his car. Colby, who knew what was going on, was also kidnapped and brought to the same location as Sam.
Then Colby was “shot” by a masked man in front of Sam – who at that stage was tied up and seated. A few seconds later, Colby got up and revealed that it was all recorded and not real.
Almost immediately there were calls for YouTube to remove it, but the BBC reports that they will not be taking it down as it doesn’t break any of the YouTube community guidelines.

Living in the inner city the s€um around here have kids as young as 7-8 years old doing it, their own little brothers in some cases. Selling tranax and Xanax day in day out, hoardes of junk1es going into the same gaffs forming queues outside it and the gardai do absolutely nothing. Plenty of people being used as money mules.
@Sean: how else are they Gina afford a new iphone ?
@Pat Kelly: You may wonder how often the parents are holding the hands open.
@Sean: are they keeping two meters apart in the queue?
@Sean: tranax is xaxax just a cheap India version of it
Maybe they could issue the same warning about back handers and brown envelopes to the toddlers in the dail, who unlike these kids, are getting well paid with expenses and a pension and yet its still not enough
They could stop taking backhanders themselves to solve the drug problem in our country but hey, who cares.
@Vladimir Macro: lol. Post your numbers of backhanders in the last ten years to support your comment or be gone.
have your say
