Wait, what? I don't understand a few things:

1. It would be more expensive to use puppets than to fly your actor to a couple places (like Buenos Aires) and get people to come be in the shot. Why not do that?

2. Who paid for this any WHY did they spend millions on it? Who benefited from this?

I do believe that this story of an elaborate hoax is in itself an even more elaborate hoax to poke fun at all the people that have claimed that the original video was just an elaborate hoax.

I intentionally did not mark this as a parody as I didn't want to give anything away

What I've learned from using the internet that any conspirical idea somebody puts forth, is believed by a group of people. These people seem to think that they are quite intelligent, and that everybody else on the planet is being fooled, an elaborate veil is being pulled over their eyes. They like to call the uninformed 'sheep'.

I like to call these informed people, retards.

Especially annoying are Zeitgeist followers who try to convince everybody of the shadowy elite, and that they should question what they see in the media and do their own research. But they themselves swallow everything Zeitgeist says, hook, line and sinker.

I admire Matt for not only traveling the world, (something far more people should do) but also for having the unabashed sense of humor to goof on the morons that rag on him.

Way to go man.

For people who skim and skip through movies, they'll never understand what they're actually saying.

You can totally see the seams on the animatronic guy from Adobe in the last dance.

"Animatronic puppets know how to keep their damn mouths shut."

LOL! This is excellent.

The original video remains probably the coolest video I've ever seen in my life.

if Matt started his own religion, it would be popular
(at least among animatronic puppets)

I think the makers of Stride gum were actually behind the collapse of WTC 7...

The irony is that the dancing video is real, but the REAL Matt was kidnapped before the presentation and replaced by an animatronic Matt created by Adobe to promote their products by claiming Where the Hell is Matt was Photoshopped.

I don't like that they make you go to the TV fora site to see the very end. It would be better if this were ripped and then posted on youtube in its entirety.

He was photoshopped into that conference. The shadow is totally off on the cards he is holding in his hands...

Makes you wonder what the real lie is that he is covering up with all the fake lies...

Is he fishing for hits on Buzz Brain Bender for the PSP which are the top results for a google search? This guy is uber viral!

Sorry to all the True Believers in this guy's 'cause' but the last few minutes remind me of some Youth For Christ evangelistic crusades i've been exposed to:

"C'mon everybody, up on the stage! join us! join us! Dance! Sing! Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
Ohh, if people would just Believe... Believe and receive... We could change the world... change the world... change the world... for Christ."

at which point the red flags go up in my mind and i wonder what cause they're really evangelizing.

Did anyone watch the video? It was a hoax itself. He was dissing the haters on YouTube who came up with the ridiculous accusation that it could ever have been Photoshopped.

You sir, just failed at the Internet.

And I'm a pretentious British fop from the mid 19th century, for using "sir".
