(CNN) -- Ok, people, let's say it all together again: If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Monday night, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel had the girl on his show where the pair offered up the big reveal -- the rest of the video.
As the girl is screaming, Kimmel, wearing an identical pink T-shirt, rushes in, fire extinguisher in hand. He puts out the fire, then flashes a thumbs up at the camera.
The girl's real name is not Caitlin Heller, but rather Daphne Avalon. She's a stuntwoman.

MORAL: A publicity hound with more money than principles can find someone willing to set herself on fire to get on TV.
“Oh, you’re no fun anymore.”

This is stupid. What is the point?
To show that professionally staged stupidity can be made indistinguishable from genuine spontaneous stupidity.
Oh, please. It was a viral video prank staged by Jimmy Kimmel and a stuntwoman.
The Internet lied to me?
Point is you can manipulate the public easily with a good performance and this wild video was just that.
I wish the public would catch on that the Press and Politicians have been buying the same response for decades.
Apparently, it wasn't the first time they did it, because Letterman said something about it costing them $1800 each time the guy does it.
The goal of Youtube videos is to create artificial “viral marketing”.
That’s all.
Disney “signed” a girl they “discovered” uploading videos of herself playing guitar “in her kitchen”. Except the record company made the videos and she was already signed.
She’s got a great future as a stuntwoman!
I think she IS a stunt woman. An honest-to-God, professional Stunt Woman.
Comment pre-censored, but it involved the word “cunning.”
So did Jimmy video the chemical attack in Syria with actors to show how dumb our gummit is?
Lol!
I have to admit, that was well played. But I do recall asking myself why was this posted if it was such an humiliating and potentially dangerous incident, and why haven’t the girls at least made some effort to show they were ok.
She still has a ripping butt.
Is there some sort of votech school for that?
White girls can’t twerk.
