Twerking Girl on Fire Video Fake

Don’t have any regrets about sharing the twerking-girl-on-fire video—even though it turns out to have been faked. Because, as Jimmy Kimmel said, you were doing your part to “put an end to twerking forever.” The viral sensation “Worst Twerk Fail EVER,” which showed a girl who caught on fire while trying to twerk, was viewed 9 million times on YouTube since its debut last week. One problem: the video was fake, created by comedian Kimmel. On his show Monday night, Kimmel aired an “extended” version of the video in which he burst in and extinguished the fire. Kimmel said the video was shot two months ago, before the Miley Cyrus VMAs fiasco, but he was waiting for the right moment to show it.
