Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFilms video on filming an invisible man in snow is now at almost fourteen million views, up from twelve million this morning, and it's still number three on YouTube's U.S. trending chart.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat's the one about the snow. Have you actually watched it?
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWe only have the title and the description, so I'm analyzing the footprints I imagine are there. Frame one, the snow is undisturbed. That's elite.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo you're breaking down a man who isn't there.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe turning point is when he steps and the snow doesn't. Nobody leaves a trail like that.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorStill ahead, a wristband that listens and takes notes. Who's that for? Final score?
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentTen out of ten for the footprints. The man gets zero, because we can't see him.
