Can you believe this tv news item about lottery winning and tacos?

This news spot was produced by Pierce Culver who created the completely fake news item that will have you wondering - could there be any truth in it? (Answer, not at all, but’s great fun to watch).

The newsreader goes on to say that the Canadian recipient of a $2 million lottery win has sparked controversy by ignoring a long-standing practice involving tacos.

But in case you were fooled, there’s another fake disclaimer on the YouTube website: ‘The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation had no knowledge of the fact that Pierce Culver may nor may not have broken into their studio and bribed an intern to film and produce this report.’
