Likely a hoax, but video is warning to S'pore TV station with prank show: Don't go too far

This disturbing video shows a man being shot for pulling a prank on people. Although the truth of the video has been debated online, it still serves as a warning to Singapore's own TV station with a similar prank show, that they should not go too far with their antics.

In the video, a man is 'planted' inside a post box in order to toss people's letters out as they attempt to slot it in. One old man takes offense, pulls out a pistol and fires three shots into it. The video closes with an 'obituary' showing the prankster's photo with the caption '1975-1995'.

While most netizens believe the video to be a fake and that the man was not actually killed, it still shows how prank shows can go horribly wrong.

Shocked people are unpredictable people, and they might react in unexpected ways.

Good to be reminded... in a humorous way of course but what can truly occur in NY isn't quite the same as in downtown dull with lifestyle Singaporeans in Singapore lah.... hahaa

Besides, even with a KSKS dumbo willing to earn that few fistful of dollars, there's a camera crew nearby to jump in B4 anything drastic should happen.

Singapore needs MORE than a Postbin of laughs to cheer its own sulky & sadface community ... :))

This is a prank video lah... However I agree that we should not bother with candid camera-type programs locally because there are too many anal and uptight Singaporeans who can't take a joke, just like the STOMPer who posted this article!
