As we roam the streets of our cities, we seldom pass by homeless people living on the sideways. Others need the most help they can get, as almost all of them need a helping hand as each and everyone of them has their own story of their life waiting to be told.

Coby Persin, YouTube personality prankster, decided to conduct a social experiment outside the skirts of New York City. He costumed himself to appear as a homeless man looking for help and attention. He held 2 different signs with 2 different captions. One says "Homeless need money for weeds, drugs & alcohol." The second one bears "Homeless single father need money for family." On both occasions he wore the exact same clothes, but he was accompanied by a child when he raised the 2nd sign bearing a homeless father.

The amount of money Coby has received was undisclosed on his conducted prank, but some people and media viewers have conflicting opinions on whether or not the experiment was merely and act, or true at all, as people call it "scripted" and "rigged".

Watch the viral video until the end, and you be the judge for yourself.
