Truth? In… Advertising?

All right. Here’s the deal. You’ll find videos all over the place that are titled very personally. How do I mean personally?
I mean like “My Friend Sara Stripteases,” or “My Girlfriend Eats Popsicle.”
The chances that the person posting this video actually knows the girl in the video are about the same as the chances of an axe-wielding Santa sliding down my chimney tonight and hacking me and my family to bits. Which is to say possible, but not very probable.
Then there are the titles that make assumptions about the person in the video. “Hooker on corner outside my house” assumes that the person in question is, indeed, a prostitute. Or my personal favorite, the use of the word “Drunk.”
This video was labeled in just such a way.
