It all looked too contrived. I think you've all been had. Frankly, if it is real, I didn't find it amusing. Pranks like this could put a lot of bystanders in danger, getting out of the way, and such. I once got caught in the middle of a real-life shopping mall chase, stuck between the guards and the perp, and it was not much to laugh at.
