Rober said he agreed to compensate the person, who was a friend of a friend, based on the number of packages that were successfully recovered. The YouTuber later learned his helper recruited two people to collect the packages on tape. Three apparently real reactions remain in the video, Rober said. Ultimately, I am responsible for the content that goes on my channel and I should have done more here," Rober said in the statement, adding that this was his first prank video.
Having said that, I know my credibility is sort of shot, but I encourage you to look at the types of videos I've been making for the past 7 years. Lastly, glitter is an equal opportunity tactic. It is inexpensive, easy to obtain, and easy to use.
The most effective tactics are both easily accessible and widely applicable. At the same time, it can be added in to other forms of political expression across a variety of contexts. Although Mitt Romney joked about the first glitter bombing, calling it confetti to celebrate his victory in the Florida primary elections, the second activist to use the tactic against Romney was detained by the Secret Service and later faced misdemeanor charges. In the case of the more recent Glitter Ash Wednesday events, some conservative Christians felt that it was sacrilegious to mix glitter in with blessed ashes.
Others saw the events as a frivolous alteration of a somber religious tradition. The glitter ash events organized for Ash Wednesday are a quieter use of sparkle in this tradition of protests in support of the LGBTQ community. The blending of glitter with Ash Wednesday ashes exemplifies the ease with which glitter can be adapted and applied to create opportunities for people to express radical love and solidarity.

Well, confirming my asshole status, I seem to be the only person who thinks that "glitter bomb" bate package video on YouTube is fake as fuck.
Not tge device, the "thieves" just seem like shit actors to me. While they were disappointed that the ultimate revenge experience was not entirely true, many of Rober's fans and viewers said they believed his explanation, thanked him for "being up front," and still contended that it was the "best video of the year.
That says a lot about your values. MarkRober It was and remains the video of the year. The beauty is the obsessive engineering that led to a gorgeous and elegant solution.
As for Logan, he agreed that Rober's note was "a decent apology," but still had some questions, particularly about how the footage was obtained and cut. From how he explained how the device worked, the package gets opened and then the cameras started to record. That means he has footage of the woman opening the package, carrying out of the house, walking to the house next door, and dropping it the trash there.
To get next door she passed through the front porch or front yard that he should have recognized because it was in the video in three shots from three cameras. I'm not sure what to do with that," Logan surmised. But I continue to think the reactions of the people caught are all staged.
Overall, everyone still agrees that the invention is a work of revenge art, and we all would like to know when and how we can get our own, put it out, and grab some popcorn. Contact Brianna Sacks at brianna. Got a confidential tip? Submit it here.
