Pity The Fool

Someone sent us this video (thanks, TR) on April Fool's day. It's the start of a four-frame videoconference meeting in which one woman has some "technical issues" getting started. If you watch and listen closely (the overly exasperated boss, the cliche lines) you'll agree with us that it's fake. Staged. We're not fooled. (This is the only thing on the web that's not real.) To borrow a line from Mr. T, we pity the fool who believes this video scene is authentic!
