A video of a repeat drunk driver being tricked into thinking he’d been in a coma for 10 years is proving one of the year’s most popular viral videos.
Nearly nine million people have watched the video since it was posted on YouTube.
The man’s friends staged the prank to give him a wake-up call after five arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol.
They smuggled him into a fake hospital room while he was passed out in a drunken haze and wired him up to medical equipment.
He awoke to find a nurse by his bed. She called the ‘doctor’ who told him he had been in a car accident after drinking – “back in 2013″.
Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
