I would not be surprised if the that footage was fake. Of course it’s very real. But you have to think in many ways it could not be. We’ve seen a lot of success with saying things that did not happen. I think we’ll continue to do that. It’s an innovation I’m particularly proud of. Seems to be working very well.”
