4. Looks a little staged to me - working on that thing

"for 8 hours" and it's so easily knocked over??? doesn't make sense...

6. because the TV channel wanted the video to go viral?

To get some attention? Maybe I'm just too skeptical - but why was this guy carving ice in the middle of the street in summer & the thing was not even supported enough to stand up - i mean the reporter just hardly touched it & it went over...I don't know, I still think it was faked...And the line, "I've had it with guys like you..." kind of an odd reaction...

7. I have to agree

the 'sculptor' did not seem credible at all in his anger.

9. Yeah, I agree. It did seem staged

Just something about the whole interaction. Maybe it was the way the guy reacted. Seemed at the level of a high school skit. Still pretty funny, IMHO, Fake or not.
