Damn I need to do something wild and crazy! I got it! A prank video.

I will have my buddy film me reaching for a cop's gun. Then when he turns around I will say "It's a prank."

Put on You Tube, Bam!

$200k 🙂

"On Monday, Frank, 22, signed with a California-based representative called Jukin Media, who has told him his video could earn in the range of $2 to $16 per 1,000 views and he can expect a 70 per cent share of the profits."

How?

,.. and then the train engineer sues him for 1/2 of that,...

He can only make money off of future hits on youtube, not past ones, right?

I haven't seen the video until today, I guess technically that was a kick. But to me it looks like the foot was just hanging off the train and this moron happened to be in it's way. I don't know if I'd consider that to be a kick.

This is coming from someone who's been kicked in the head.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Heh, I thought it was a deliberate commentary on his idiocy.

Somebody online said that the person had his foot hanging off the train because their is a metal bar that would have killed that fool.

You need to really look for it. If this is the case then the conductor saved this boy's life.

No, there is no metal bar that would have killed him. The train conductor stuck his foot out and kicked him in the side of the head.

If I'm standing on a ledge with my foot out and you run into it, I didn't kick you. I took Karate as a lad, to kick you have to, well kick. This kid got hit with a dangling foot, that's hardly a kick.

From what I can tell, this boy didn't "get" anything. He could make money from this, but I hardly think it will be anywhere near what is reported.

No, the engineer stuck his foot out and pulls it back on to the platform as you watch the video. Dangling foot would be unintentional. The engineer purposefully put his foot out to make it contact the guys face. That's a kick.

Did anyone notice the train blaring its horn the entire time? Did the kid stop and think he might actually be trespassing? Train engineers don't fool around with people who get close to the locomotives. For all the engineer knew, the kid might have been trying to film his own suicide.

Don't mess around with trains. When it's you vs 400,000 lbs of steel, there's only one clear victor. If the kid is close enough to get kicked in the head, he's too close to the train to take a selfie.

*I used to live right behind a railroad track here in Florida. Twice a day, sometimes three, the train would ride on by. They're loud. They're extraordinarily powerful. They're also your tombstone if you try and play superman.

Kid should have had an Adsense account... 22 million views down the train for him. I'm sure Google padded their bottom line already.

i won't lie. when i saw the video i didn't know he was kicked in the head, i thought like a part of the train was sticking out and hit him. not until i saw this picture in the article did i know it was someone's actual foot lol.
