Is this surveilance camera video real? Not a staged fake? (And what has she been smoking?)

It's 90 seconds long, definitely not safe for work (she starts cursing at him). It's a lady on a rampage. It was posted just 3 days ago and has amassed over 3 millions hits.

She says to the McDonald's drive-thru attendant "Don't make me assume my ultimate form!" As if she's threatening to transform herself into a lycanthrope or a catwoman and get all mythical jungle-beast in his face.

My sniff test says it's real.

I suspect it might be another bath salts case, although maybe not because I thought bath salts cases involved brute animalistic behavior, void of such overt delusions and elaborate verbal arguments. (I could be wrong.)

Thoughts?

::ETA::

Okay, I did some digging. Turns out this is a very old video (from 2010). Happened in Toledo.

But I am now suspecting that the real surveillance video was a zero-sound video, and that here, three years later, someone decided to write a script and dub it all with actors (friends).

EDIT: Found this interesting news story (also in video format).

My only thought is HOLY CRAP.

Old vid or not, this person had a serious case of low blood sugar.

Or maybe she was just crazy.

Or something.

Tazing her would have been an appropriate response in this situation. Seriously.

Parametric · Sep 1, 2013

I would have been out of there the second she started trying to climb through the window. Horror movies start that way.

"I will go Super Saiyan?" Really? I'd like to see that happen. Where's the golden glow?

Her ultimate-form transformation involves her skin melting away to reveal her true identity: an HK-47 assassin droid.

Yes, surveillance videos don't really have sound. So I agree with you. I think the video itself was real, but not the dialog. That's disappointing, though, because the "don't make me assume my ultimate form" thing was the best part!

Not true--tech has come a long way. But yes, it's possibly a dub. I noticed places where she's screaming and there's no discernible movement on her face.

Plot Device · Sep 1, 2013

There was also the total lack of the typical fast food beeps and buzzers going on in the background.

But still, ya gotta hand it to whoever wrote that script and did the dubbing -- very impressive. They truly made the whole thing seem legitimate by having her voice fade in and out of audibility whenever the sliding drive-thru window would slide shut then open again then slide shut again. (I suspect they did it with the glass sliding door off a kitchen patio in someone's private home.)

But now I have another question: could the real life woman who really did pull this hissy fit and make a damned fool of herself back in 2010 at that Toledo McDonald's now turn around and sue the pranksters who did this viral spoof-out here in 2013?

As a Super Saiyan, she can do anything she damn well pleases.

I am also pondering the sheer genius of this viral video as a way for a total nobody (but also very talented) film/sound editor to try and get noticed and launch his career. One of the things about ANY effort at making a video which you want people to take notice of is that the sound quality is never allowed to be sub-standard. Even good old Blair Witch, whole it had mediocre video (which was kinda of called for with the whole format of the yet-to-be-named genre of "Mockumentary" which it helped pioneer) spent a huge chunk of it's overall budget trying to get a killer soundtrack. Blair Witch HAD to have awesome sound because if the sound is bad, the audience members will start looking away from the screen to ask their neighbor "What did she say?" and as soon as the audience looks away from the screen ... your done. And your movie is toast.

However, in this instance with McNugget Lady, because the sound was allegedly from a second-rate surveillance camera at a fast food joint, we the viewer made allowances in our minds to forgive any crappy instances of sub-standard sound quality.

Bloody fricking brilliant, really.

It is true, though, about her coming to the window demanding mcnuggets when they were serving breakfast. The story about it which says she was arrested tells that much.

PD: my money is on her being a terrorist

Word. And in the event that it is a fake, I'd be impressed with the whole thing.

The audio is fake. There is a version of the incident on some news websites (without sound).

redfalcon · Sep 1, 2013

She was just there as a diversion, the hamburgler was stuffing his duffle bag while she made a scene. They met at Wimpy's house to split the take. He is a know hamburger fence.

This is a very dangerous part of town. The corner this restaurant sits on is controlled by the Happy Meal Gang (who took it over from the Fry Kids). Then there is the freaky behavior of criminal master-mind, the Griddler. Not to mention the dread pirate, Captain Crook, who patrols the waters off Filet-O-Fish Lake.

Still, it had all been under control until Mayor McCheese ordered Officer Big Mac to knock off the Stop and Frisk program.

J.S.F. · Sep 1, 2013

I'll have everyone know that no trans-fats were harmed during the making of this allegedly faked Super-Saiyan vid. Had they been harmed, I would have ended the harmee.

And Mayor McCheese was impeached for embezzling the proceeds from the Fish-Off Bake-a-thon.

You heard it from me first. No audio, but there it is.

I was going to throw in Grimace, but I thought that might be "A Bridge Too Far."
