Thomas Elliot is a “famous” dude who has Virginia shoppers going nuts over him — for doing nothing at all.

Along with his team at Chill Hill Media, Elliot (whose name is actually Thomas Cramer — his middle name is Elliot) entered MacArthur Center Mall in Norfolk, Virginia with the intention to trick everyone into believing he was a celebrity.

According to Cramer, it only took four minutes to do so.

“It just so happened to catch wind so early — a gentleman had asked for a picture not knowing who I was and then the security witnessed it,” says Cramer. “I think the security coming to aid was one of the biggest facilitators of it, just because it drew so much attention.”

The simple stunt landed the “celebrity” three security guards, which Cramer says the team initially ducked into a Vans store to avoid what they thought was going to be conflict. Instead, they remained with them throughout the entire trip to the mall. According to Cramer, there was very little communication between security and his team during the process.

“I didn’t say a word — they never asked who we were, they never asked what we did,” says Cramer. “We didn’t lie to security, we just didn’t talk about it. It was just assumed that I was a celebrity and they needed to fend off fans.”

Mall-goers pegged Thomas Elliot as a character from The Hunger Games, Spiderman and even Titanic — all of which Cramer says neither he nor his team came up with. The idea to collect tweets came after the experiment.

Although Cramer claims this was case study and a social experiment, he says first and foremost he just wanted to accomplish a really cool project.

Mission accomplished.

The best part is the lady that had him hold her baby will probably be thinking "what the fuck did I just do"

[Tombstone RJ]

wow, just goes to show that people are pretty pathetic. "hey look, someon famous!" "yah, who is it?" "I have NO idea!, let's get a picture!"

Yep. It certainly shows how people can be so gullible.

Absolute Classic... love it. That was priceless with the girl on the phone at the end.

[Jewish Rabbi]

So how did he make them think he was famous?

You just know he got to bang her brains out. She believes he's a celebrity. She has one night to bang him before he "heads back to the west coast". Can't imagine when she found out he's just some dude. LOL

[Kyle DeLexus]

He had friends ask for pictures and autographs and people assumed from there.

I hope that lasted 15 minutes so we won't see him again.

Saw this the other day. What a great idea. I'm pissed off I wasn't the first one to think of this. Imagine how much pussy you could get off this tactic!

[The Dawg]

This really just shows how ******* stupid girls are.

Get your friends together and try it at a bar. Make sure you have a hotel room set up in advance.

You're certain to get laid if you pull it off.

[JD10367]

I have a better idea. If you're a hot girl, meet me at the mall and start sucking my dick in the food court, while I point and yell, "Hey, everybody! It's that hot porn star who's always on TMZ!" Then you can sign autographs with your free hand.

'he's so cool...' , but she has no idea who he is.

[suds79]

Funny stuff. Video is light hearted. Kinda funny.

Guess they decided to stop filming after they cashed in on that smash & dash later that night. ;)

Yeah, seriously. It's funny and all, but it really goes to show how petty women are (men too, but whatever). How many of those girls were willing to fuck that guy just because they thought he was famous? Obviously at least one...... And some of us have to pick wives out of this bunch!

Its not just the younger ones like that my friend, i sold a $35k suv to a woman sooo hooot bodied, such a pretty faced woman, sooo (seemingly) sweet as cake today... with THEE most bucktoothed, dopey eyed, lovestruck goofball you've EVER seen.

But then he showed me pictures of the cool million dollars worth of farm equipment he/Daddy owns & then i noticed the full carat engagement ring... and it all became clear.

Women are uber-materialistic whores. I thought everyone knew that?

[Titty Meat]

Thought it sounded fake, but I just had to Google it... :banghead:

Dear God...women in our society are all about status and money when it comes to men. None of those girls would have given that 'normal' looking dude the time of day if they hadn't thought he was someone important. Shows like 'Real Housewives' are frying their brains.

It's sad isn't it. Most women want either a hunk of a man or a financially secure man. It can be tough goin for dudes like myself who are probably only a 6 or 7 on the best days and make below 40k.

LOL at the slut at the end.

Laugh it up, but they make the world a better place. Except when they give you chlamydia, of course...

You know, maybe we're being too hard on the ladies. I mean, pretty much all men are horndogs with insatiable sexual appetites. What's important to a man is to find a woman that's as hot as possible and for some (a lot) to get as many as possible.

Women are more worried about security. Plus they're materialistic. Seriously, who blows money like a woman? No one. They're matched by none when it comes to spending money on 'things'. They want a man that can protect and provide for them. So of course, they know any man that's a celebrity is probably making more money than the average guy and that flips a switch in their brain, sending an average looking man into hot or sexy territory.

Just as much as we want healthy, beautiful women who will bear several quality children to us. They've known what was important since we were all living in caves...evolutionary psychology does not lie.

don't fool yourselves, the line between being famous or not is very thin.
