Help the poor? a social experiment and important video

What will be your response if some guy was on the street passing out information and wearing a sign saying screw over poor people? Would you agree with them? Would you be outraged? Would you be so outraged that you would try and confront this person and let them know your view?

The guys over at the U.K.'s Pilion Trust Charity conducted a social experiment that examines this very thing. And as probably foreseen prior to shooting this video, everyone who comes into contact with this person is outraged, angry and has the courage to let their views known.

Where this video becomes gold however is not seeing how we can all become outraged by a "Fuck the poor" statement, but what happens the next day when the same guy wears a sign that says "help the poor".  Please watch and then share.
