Blogmas Day 1: Sam Pepper's Disgusting Prank (My Reaction)

Sunday, YouTuber, Sam Pepper released a video where he pranked a Viner/Youtuber named Sam Golbach with the help of Sam's best friend Colby Brock. If it was a simple harmless prank I would not be writing this reaction post. In the supposed prank Golbach got kidnapped along with Brock (Brock was just pretending as he was in on it) and they were taken to a secret location, There a masked man took off the hood that had been placed on Golbach's head leaving the hood on Brock. While Golbach pleaded for his and his friend's life the masked man pretended to shoot Brock in the head who then played dead. The masked man then walked off camera while Golbach sobbed thinking his best friend was dead and had been killed in front of him. Brock then took off his hood and told Golbach that he was okay and it was prank. The best friends did film an outtro for the video and Golbach seemed fine but that is not the point.

This so called prank is disgusting and wrong. It would be disgusting and wrong under any circumstances but it is made worse by the fact that it was done not only for the entertainment of Pepper and Brock but for Pepper's viewers as he posted it to his YouTube account. Pepper has been in the media for this video as it is receiving so much outrage. There is also a petition going around on twitter for YouTube to deactivate Pepper's account.

The only research that I did for this post was watching the video and finding out Sam Golbach and Colby Brock's last names. Linked below is the video watch it if you wish but I for one will not be watching it again. Also this post is completely my opinion of the video.
