{Spoiler}I had a feeling it was since those pants were way too flammable. Some assorted candles and a bottle of liquor should not make yoga pants ignite like that. But bravo to Kimmel, that was really funny anyways.

I don't watch Kimmel's show, but wow, that's genius. Bravo.
"I hope that put an ends to twerking."
Me too, Jimmy. Me too.

Now...how many of those outlets will actually own up to getting made fools of?

Her real name is Daphne Avalon? That sounds like the name of a female lead character in some epic Medieval fantasy story.

Hopefully this will put an end to "legitimate" news outlets running viral videos as if they're actually newsworthy. Kimmel is awesome.

I learn't a new thing - I now know who Jimmy Kimmel is.

I had a hunch it was fake. In my media convergence class we were talking about how you can tell viral videos can be fake. We also talked about " the rules of thirds" and I noticed this video follows that too well to be legit. Props on Jimmy for pulling this off as well as he did.

I think I'm jaded and a natural skeptic. I suspected it was 'too perfect' to be real. It just looked staged to me, all the way down to the placement of the camera and the flow of everything.

Haha, those news outlets aired a short comedic video that turned out to be staged! Boy they look like dumbasses now!

And how exactly would a fake video put an end to twerking?
If that was your goal (and what a goal), admitting it was fake in no way accomplishes this.

That shit was just to get people to mention Kimmel's name in a sentence with words other than "Who?" attached. Don't nobody give a shit about what Kimmel thinks about the world.

He's not really like an open mic comedian. People know who he is. Even if that's not his intention...but that video being on the news is dumb as hell.

But really, let's not overstate this, Kimmel had a video that got a lot of hits. Outlets that should've been covering important stuff like Syria are already covering that sometimes along with the fake video. He made his video, he got his "gotcha!" moment to make a really shallow point. A lot of our news is a profit-driven venture and that's wrong. Tell me when the dude makes a point that wasn't laid down ages ago.
