The top comment on that youtube video show's some very interesting points that support the fraudulent nature of the video. Specificly when the target goes to grab the can from the judge, 1 angle he has no papers on the table, and another he has a piece of paper in front of him

That's just shotty editing on the post production side. Watch any reality show and you will find glitches like that. Most likely they didn't have a camera shot of the guy approaching the judge pointing at the judge, so they just grabbed a clip from prior to make an establishing shot of the performer moving towards the judge.

Yes it is real. His name is Vladimir Vislkosvy and the show was "Bulgaria's Got Talent." He made a full recovery and lives with his wife and three children in Bratislava, Slovakia.

thats bullshit. their logo is not like in this video and their text is in bulgarian. also, look at when he grabs the can, before he takes it the judge has nothing in front of him, and after he has, one second later. its a viral ad...

No, where is the geyser of blood from taking an arrow to the face?

[–]TomorrowPlusX 5 points6 points ago

Plugged by the arrow. Also, fake as mentioned in the top response.

You've never been bow hunting have you?

This man wasn't using a broadhead arrow.

That is irrelevant. Ever seen how much even a minor head wound bleeds?

[–]Atomic235 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Actually I think it is relevant. Most wounds won't bleed easily if there's something jammed in them.

Also, "geysers of blood" only happen in movies. The body doesn't generate enough blood pressure to spray very far. If the video were real the wound would have eventually bled severely, but there's very little chance that anything would have visibly sprayed out of him.

Shit looked like it hit is eye. Anyhow, there is only one way to settle this. Now I just have to remember where I left my bow....

[–]favoritestairs 3 points4 points ago

Probably not, but I bet he hasn't shot anyone in the face with an arrow either.

[–]ChewysDingleberrys 1 point2 points ago

My cousins best friend is from Bulgaria and he told us about that when it happened. He saw it happen live on air and confirms that the guy lived but with some brain damage.

that jsut showed the clip, and then a paramedic ran over at the end... how is it fake?

Is break a site for fake things?

[–]drucey 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Sorry, I just wanted to link the full video.

Google brings up many a site that disprove the existence of that particular show (Armenia's got talent?), and the obvious advertising of the particular drink can in question. I believe it's a viral ad.

[–]VollieV 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You're probably right. I doubt this would make it to any tv show if it were real.

[–]jokr004 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Umm.. that's a very real show...

[–]Platypuskeeper 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's not Armenian, it's Russian; Armenian doesn't even use the Cyrillic alphabet. Says it's the "Amazing Kiev Brothers".

It's also fake, since the Russian and Ukranian versions of the Idol/"Got Talent" shows don't look anything like that. It's pretty obvious too, since it's not even done in a single take. For instance: How'd the bow on the floor spontaneously move between :07 and :11?

[–]Deinosmos 0 points1 point ago

It's all part of the show. Seriously, people, do I really have to point this out? If you look closely you can make out a brown stain on the side of his vest. Could be any number of things but, the context taken into account, it is likely what bulgarians call 'tragvdlak' - a native remedy for arrow wounds to the head.

[–]UnlikelyHat 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's unconfirmed but if I had to guess, I would say fake. It seems that viral marketing is really taking off in Russia. Remember the wolves of Moscow videos?
