So there was a video post (Trust Me Im A Professional) that hit the front page of Digg.com today, where in a video supposedly shot in 1994 a motivation speaker talks a woman into doing a trust fall where she smacks her head on the floor. The controversy comes from the intro clip to the video that shows what is supposedly the same man, selling his motivation material today, 13 years later…

So how can this guy who knocked a woman out on stage still be a motivational speaker?

He isn’t. It is called a viral video. Made specifically to fool you into talking about it.

Notice that there is an eerie resemblance between the girl who smacks her head in 1994 and a girl in his current promo video…
