Ever wonder how some of those idiotic "viral" videos became so popular? Maybe they weren't popular after all!

I wouldn't be surprised if these companies actually exist. They would do it with software bots rather than the hilarious method described here.

they have software that can do this without physical interaction...

Some of the comments here are also having me think that some took this seriously...
