Guy bashes younger brother's face with an iPad

I laughed so hard my tummy aches.

Dude should probably play golf cause he has a great wing.

1. First good use I have ever seen for an iPad.
2. Why on earth would someone be filming this, if it wasn't pre-scripted?
 
I thought about that too but still hilarious nonetheless.

3. That's what you call a Facebook I guess.

And to 2. That is YouTube, having pre-scripted accidents happen all the time. I guess it all started with Bitte Lächeln or America's Funniest Home Videos.
 
It's fake. It isn't a real iPad, and who just has a camera sitting recording in situations like this..
 
I dropped my iPad right on my face the other night while laying in bed.

Left a blood scratch between my eyes.

Fake or not, those things hurt.

This is why I think its fake. Why do people run video cameras in their living rooms for no reason. Doesn't pass the sniff test
 
The video is fake.

Video cuts away right before the hit, and does not show what happens afterwards. Getting "hit" is very easy to fake, especially in videos of such low resolution.

The video you've posted is STOLEN.

This seems to be the original on YouTube, from August.

However, the youtube user has only 1 video. There are no other videos. So the video could have been stolen from somewhere else. And the website is only about that one video.
 
I had a "LMAO" moment when I saw this the first few times, but I showed it to a coworker, and he was convinced it was fake, and now I am too. We watched it carefully, and it doesn't look like the thing is even on.... unless he just has the screen dimmed really dark, and like some others on this thread have pointed out, who just randomly has a camera running while their little brother is aggravating them? I can think of 10K + better things to do with an iPad than hit someone with it.
 
I read somewhere this was originally from an ad – hence the abrupt cut off after he gets hit. After that the voiceover/graphics come up or something.
