First Kiss

It's a name of a video that has become a hit of the Internet. ''First Kiss'' is a kind of experiment invented by amateur filmmaker Tatia Pilieva. She asked 20 strangers to kiss for the first time. They were paired off and given no instruction. Most people probably don't know the video is fashion related because it was a part of style.com's video fashion week. In this moment I'm watching it for the second time and I'm really suprised by a number of views. It reached 57 679 352. I thought there are not a lot of things in this world that can shock yet. So, is there any good reason to be interested in watching strangers kissing each other? ''A fruit salad of emotions''. This is one of many opinions found in the Internet. Emotions. Is it a keyword? I must admit that the video is full of different emotions: embarrassment, stress, shyness, curiosity, excitement and maybe even passion. However, the question is: Is it true? Is it real? Or is it just a good piece of acting? I'm afraid we won't never know the truth. In my opinion, the idea is quite interesting and 'fresh'. Besides, it has something that attract you and make you smiling, but I'm a little bit worried about its authenticity. What do you think about it? Have you seen it before? Would you participate in it if you had an oportunity? For those who haven't seen it yet I put the video in my post:)
