Kiss-cam video a hoax; it was all for entertainment
Say it ain’t so, Fresno Joe!
That kiss-cam video that went viral of the lady getting upset with her man for not offering a smooch when they were shown on the video board wasn’t just a prank, it was a hoax perpetrated by staff of the Fresno Grizzlies minor league baseball team.
The woman who eventually tosses her drink on the inattentive fellow is actually a supervisor in the promotions department.
Kellie Henderson sat down with a reporter from Fresno television station CBS47 to tell her side of the story (shown in the video above).
“We decided, you know, there’s going to be a pretty big crowd,†she explains. “We should do what we can and try and get the people to laugh. That’s our job here at the Grizzlies, to make sure they have a good time.â€
Kellie and her man, simply identified as Daniel (good name, by the way), were entertaining to say the least. Who doesn’t love slapstick and the old drink-dumped-on-a-guy routine? You can watch again in the video below.
Oh, and there is no Fresno Joe. It just sounded like a good way to start the post.
