Stealthy Santa

Stuart Edge, in the middle, setting up another video, with some students, for St. Patrick's Day.
STUART EDGE started out his work life as a PortaPotty cleaner, sucking out human excrement with a truck-borne vacuum. Then he got a job that involved using a video camera. From there, he began posting videos on YouTube. He became a hit; rather, his videos became hits, frequently going viral.



Stuart says that none of his videos are staged, but what is seen in them are genuine reactions of those he films. They usually start with some sort of premise, which is pretty much guaranteed to get a reaction. He does them just because. In fact, they bring out the human in all of us; we can identify with the receiver in these videos.

So, Christmas has come and gone and there was another video by Stuart Edge. Money was involved. A sneaky guy in a red Santa hat was handing out Christmas cards. One card even met its recipient when it descended by fishing line on a family that was eating a fast food meal. Another met a recipient from the middle of a rack of clothes. All gave a surprise - a little extra cash at the holidays. And who wouldn't love that?

Now, here's the video, which will leave you smiling at the idea of its generosity:
