Viral Video Crew Buys College Student's Textbooks

Poor college students will be envious of the subject of the latest viral video experiment. What would you say if someone offered to pay for all of your college textbooks for a semester?

The video is awkward at first, because the couple approached by the host doesn't know how to react, but when it finally dawns on her that she's about to get a whole bunch of free textbooks for her studies the woman can't stop smiling and asking "really?"

The veterinary student walks to the nearby bookstore with the host and grabs an armload of the necessities for her classes. They even throw in a bag of M&Ms for good measure.

The woman can't believe what has happened and appears to react authentically and gratefully. Let's hope she really does go on to help some horses.

The YouTube channel and viral video producers known as "whatever" have developed a reputation for pranks in public places with simple concepts. This video falls into a more warm-and-fuzzy category of their repertoire, but they have a bunch of hits. The most popular being a girl asking other girls for sex and smacking someone's butt and pinning it on an innocent bystander.
