Default Funny Fauxtog Vid

Just found this via you're not a photographer.
I'm thinking satire, what does everyone else think?

Jeeeeeeeez - what scares me is I don't think she's being satirical. I've met woman like this!

And they say men are from Mars - sheeeeeeeeeeesh!

This is completely satirical. You can even read her description on the page. She's just very convincing given she's a good actress

That's a good actress? Gee, no wonder people watch the soaps

the best part about this is the utter confusion and outrage she's causing. Another photographer here in Wisconsin posted it on FB yesterday... completely riled up and furious, and a chorus of support followed about how this is everything that is wrong with the industry... by contrast on this woman's FB page, there are supportive comments from MWACs saying the tips are really helpful.

Within 30 seconds I thought it was easy to see it was a satire, and thought it was really funny... however, a great deal of what she says is sadly going to be identifiable with many people... and in honesty, there's a grain of truth behind what she's doing.

Great stuff.

Brilliant - Just watched the vid on "the camera".
