you'll be thinking this is boring.... till the bride shows up.

[Gazsurf]

That has to be staged........we need the women of the page to confirm that though. Go girls.........

[nm]

staged.

....for more reasons than I care to get into.

[Wilbur Kookmeyer]

I vote not staged. Though I am not a woman.

[rveesurfdawg]

Oh my gawd.
Wholly chit.
I think its real too.
Only because I know and have met many chicks equally that crazy.

[Stiffler]

I currently have a house full of women*, the consensus seems to be:
real


*three daughters, my wife, and ex-wife's sister.

Reasons I think "the bride wig out" was staged:

Girls start planning their wedding at the ripe old age of 8. Proclamations of anything less.....are a lie.

That being said.....

1. She has every detail planned.....right down to making sure the family pet's collar is within the "color scheme". The only detail that's left to the last minute......who the groom will be.

2. She's had her "do" planned out for months. Even going as far as having it done a handful of times before the event......just to make sure.

3. That girl never would've left the salon with that hair. No way. It really was horrid.

4. Since when are fabric shears so handy? In a hotel bathroom?

5. How many friends do you have that would just stand there and laugh while you're chopping up your hair.....on your wedding day?

6. Even the chick filming would've put the camera down to help.


Sorry......just not buying it. Staged.


Of course.......I still take time to coordinate barbie's handbags and heels......so what the hell do I know.

I dunno, nmm, after a brief and painful foray into the world of being a 'wedding photographer' I'd have to say that this could be real. Sure, you're sane, I'm somewhat sane, my wedding was flip flops on the beach and Dickies on the groomsman with a down the aisle song as I approached, 'here comes your man' by the pixies, but there do exist people in this world who do stuff that insane...

my two cents of why its not staged is this---- why the first two minutes being filmed before the bride shows up? You don't need that big a lead in--- you could do it in five seconds. AND, those chicks are GAP girls, not amateur flim makers renting a room to stage some pure insanity---- And as far as 'not putting down the camera to help' well, I tend to think that to a certain kind of woman, filming such a thing would be complete, utter enjoyment even if they're friends....

I think Stiffy has taken the lead in the youtube battle thus far.

I found this by typing "kevin and jodie bride freak out" into google

from newportmercury.com

DIY publicity


So the truth has come out. The YouTube video of the bride cutting her hair off an hour before her wedding was not real, just an extremely well acted story of a psychotic episode.

And that, as Martha Stewart would say, is a good thing.

For those of you who missed it, the hair care brand Sunsilk was behind "Bride Has Massive Hair Wig Out," which received more than 2 millions views and broke the top 100 viewed clips on the Web site. The six-minute video shows three bridesmaids, one holding the camera, celebrating with champagne in a hotel room. The bride Jodi enters not so fresh from the hair salon, drops to the floor screaming and then runs to the bathroom mirror. Her attendants try calming her down, invoking the name of the groom, Kevin, but Jodi grabs a pair of scissors and hacks away while her attendants scream. Realizing what she's done, she screams at her attendants for not stopping her.

"shite, her hair's in the toilet," one says.

"You'll look back on this and laugh someday," one offers.

The video ends with Jodi's rage turning on the camera. I had heard the video was a fake by the time I saw it. But if it were real, I'd like to think the girl with the camera would have put it down and stopped the bride's self-destruction. To actually train a camera on your friend's wedding day meltdown and then post it for millions of people to watch would be incredibly vicious and cruel.

How Sunsilk builds its brand from the video isn't clear since there's no mention of the name in it. The Web site Adrants Daily actually reported that Sunsilk pulled out of the project at the last minute though the reason has not been made public. The same week the fake freak out was exposed Turner Broadcasting's guerilla marketing campaign in Boston for the "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" cartoon led to a terrorism scare that shut down highways, bridges and tunnels. Turner has agreed to pay the city of Boston $2 million to make up for the episode, though marketing experts agree that the national publicity resulting from the whole thing was worth far more.

Welcome to the new age of guerilla marketing where the joke is always on us. As for Jodi Behan, the 22-year-old Toronto college student featured in the Bridezilla video, she really did cut off her own hair and one of her bridesmaids is her real life sister, but that's it for the truthful elements of the video. The four women involved in the video enjoyed giving interviews on U.S. and Canadian national network shows last week. And their video has spawned other spoofs, including one where the groom Kevin freaks out with a magic marker coloring hair and a beard on his clean-shaven face and head.

Ingrid Haas, who scripted and filmed the video, told Canada's largest national daily newspaper The Globe and Mail that "If there's one thing I learned in theater school, it's that no one's going to come knocking on your door - you have to do it yourself."
