Is this real?

It actually didn't occur to me that she might have a disability, and if she does then I wish her the best.

I viewed her as someone who is just blindly buying an iPhone with no real reason as to why, but only because it is white and has an Apple logo on it. Maybe it is because of all the Fandroids who deem all Apple buyers to posses these qualities. What threw me over the edge was the willingness to just throw up to 2-3 phones on a credit card.

Fingers crossed that someone explains to her how contracts and phone subsidies work.

Assuming it is real, to the normal eye it may seem like lack of knowledge and probably some sort of indigent lifestyle. On the other hand, if this is indeed realistic, her facial expressions coupled with her behavior suggests autism – though only a professional exam will provide concrete results.
 
Some of you people scare me sometimes. How could you possibly take this video at face value? Hint: Look at some of their other videos that include staged interviews. My goodness, don't be dense! It's a comedy skit.

I was thinking autism or Aspergers as well given that she is unable to tell that she's being mocked.

I have a problem with making fun of people who display a great deal of earnestness. We don't know why she is the way she is. Some people don't process the world the same we do, but if we marginalize them, we actually lose out on knowing people who can be quite wonderful. I know a person who responds at times even less logically than this person seems to, and I'm not sure what sort of condition she has, but as I've gotten to know her, I can see that all the layers of a human being are there. I would have missed out on a good friend if I had been simply reactive to what seemed like it made no sense. If this interviewer had stayed with this woman long enough to actually see her life rather than just get his sound bites, I think he would have seen a much different person. He would have seen a real person rather than just a novelty.

I'm speechless. Thank you.

Alright: "idly speculated while procrastinating over some household chores" and/or "participated in favorite hobby of armchair psychology."

Anyway, if it's not just really bad acting (no eye contact and wooden delivery could equal cue cards) then she does appear to have some sort of disability.
 
Another Samsung "iPhone bash" commercial! Wait wait that's real!
