Viral Video Hits Blur the Authenticity Line

Viral Video Hits Blur the Authenticity Line: "The video uploaded by 'madflux' in mid-November begins with a fumbled camera. What follows is nearly unreal: a video of a guy on a bike re-creating the experience of the video game Guitar Hero by following markers set on the pavement of a suburban neighborhood. Madflux gives a 'shoutout' to 'Lars and the rest of the Brierwood Vandals.' 'Bike Hero' immediately became a YouTube hit, garnering over 1.7 million views, along with hundreds of thousands elsewhere online."
