Going Up? Going Down? Going Crazy!

This is by way of a “Thank you” for your viewership–a really elaborate high-tech prank perpetrated at a German shopping mall. These shoppers got a good scare, but no harm was done and they were able to laugh about it afterward. Some people, you make ’em think a giant spider’s after ’em, and they get kind of… well, cross.

A Public Service: Fake Spider Pranks

I don’t know about you, but after covering dreary nooze all day–and again trying, fruitlessly, to buy some rubbing alcohol–I need a laugh, big-time.

So you go to do your laundry and there’s a giant spider waiting for you on the floor… What would you pay to see someone pull this prank on Nancy Pelosi?

No spiders were injured in the making of this video. No real spiders, at least–some of the toys might be a little bit the worse for wear.

But it gave me a laugh, and I hope it does the same for you.
