LOL, but nothing would surprise me!
I went to a few Timberwolve's basketball game this year. One time and
I won't give the boring details but they had this long production of
this over hyped fan dancing in the audience. He tried to get his
teenage daughter to join in but she hid her head in shame. The crowd
went nuts laughing and cheering. After finally, ripping his shirt
off, he was eventually taken out by security, to the sounds of the
crowd booing. Much later, he was escorted back and was well behaved
(all on the big screen). People are cheering him and booing the
security guard. I turn to my friend and say why would they show this
guy being taken back to his seat if they had removed him for this
behavior? Something is not right here. Duh, the paper told the full
story the next day. He was a plant.
Ah, faked spontaneity and enthusiasm. Urg.
Maybe it was the same guy from the U2 concert. ;)
