This video sums it all up: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oprUI6nupfc

I couldn't watch it in one go... this is staged right ?

Check this also. It's old but personally knowing fan boys, I know they would act exactly like this- http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rdIWKytq_q4

I saw that when it came online, you can't prove the latest kimmel video's honesty by using an older one. He also revealed posting fake youtube fail videos so now everything he shows is questionnable.

now everything he shows is questionnable

Everything he ever showed is questionable, he's an entertainer not an investigative news reporter. However, pretty much all of these segments have been real in the past, so I'm not sure why that would change now. They obviously cherry pick respondents.

Fair enough. But how do you know the previous ones weren't staged ? Maybe they weren't, it was a believable prank to compare a device with itself and see the average person make up fantasy differences. But here it's an ipad mini of twice the surface, and screen tasting ... I mean come on.

What do you mean by staged? In a sense they all are- I'm sure they ask the question to a lot of people who say "that's not an iPhone, that's an iPad Mini". But they edit those ones out. They're not intending to portray an accurate image of the American consumer.

Staged as in the girl licking is acting through a script.

Fair enough.

The glasses on the last guy were seriously cool.
