*disclaimer - like a total moron, in my haste I uploaded the full youtube vid previously which conained minors, so apologies to anyone offended by that. OP below*
Clickbaity heading, but something happened to me I felt like sharing.
Last night I was at a houseparty when some female friends I admire, started to talk out of the blue about a pie-in-the-face video. Now it wasn't quite the usual omg-stay-cool-man moment, because it had quite negative edge. They had each seen the now infamous clown-escalator pieing prank from Brazil (full disclosure, I've watched them more than once because I really admired the pies and coverage) but they were dicussing how awful anh horrible it was (I think they may have only seen a cut of the larger first woman) and how it was assault and people were watching on sharing the video and really taking the humilaition aspect as a kind of social violence.
I said nothing of course but couldn't stop wondering what they'd think of me if they knew that I'd watched it from such a different perspective. Kinda felt bad! They certainly would have thought I was a bit evil. I always just kind of assumed that these were wither set up or the people got handy paydays to allow them on air, because really I suppose if you pursued it as assault it would probably be treated that way.
I have viewed all those videos there was at one point in time 3 and I noticed a person that was present in all of them besides the clown (and camera guy who we don't see) it appears to be a person who talks to the victim after the fact , they make a good point in not showing them but you can kind of hear them calling out to the person who was pied so. Also keep in mind this is in a mall of some sort NO way mall security would let this go on unless it was part of some promotion and the people being pied were fairly compensated or even paid in some way, my guess is a salon or beauty shop was partnered to help the people or perhaps they were cleaned up and given a make over as part of a publicity stunt. Either way there was children involved so informed film consent was needed so. I would advise people not to be too hasty look at the big picture here, the video was meant to look bad but in the end it was most likely staged in some way. Those are my thoughts , take what you will. **Edit this prank is for a hidden camera show i was able to translate the page and there are a bunch more on youtube including one in a water park so this is most likely staged with guests of the mall and water park being informed that the show was there and that anything could happen. I don't condone assault in any way and both men and women were pied in the various videos.
This is why I don't like candid pieings of unsuspecting women. About as far as I go is a party or television show but in a mall? on the street? Not a turnon for me because yeah its assault and the woman is probably very unhappy. Pretend anger is my limit.
I NEVER said that. Never said assumed anything i was guessing what might of transpired after the fact it was my opinion DO NOT put words in my mouth . I looked at the various videos objectively and with a grain of salt. I assumed nothing I reasoned out what might of taken place after the cameras were turned off. Its a hidden camera show The mall knew what was going to happen. Watch the videos there are tons of people and clean up crews standing by when this goes down.

A week later, as they were prepping to shoot the sketch, the prop person told Darby that they had a problem. No one had bothered getting a new bucket of leftovers. There's just the old one that's been sitting in the corner for the last week. And, in that time, eight inches of green "crud" has grown on top of it. Because they were a small production with a shoestring budget, Darby made an executive decision, "I just said, 'dump it on the kid anyway'." https://www.foodandwine.com/lifestyle/when-slime-ruled-world-making-and-tasting-nickelodeons-green-goo
