The infamous Irving Texas clock--challenging the story's foundation (20 second VIDEO)
|

Youtube ^
| Published on Sep 18, 2015 | G O'LastName
The original story was about a controversial package in a school setting, but it was quickly claimed to be a homemade clock. If
so, the clock itself (not the presentation) might be cool as the White House said. If not, the world may be propping up a plagiarist who flaunted the piece of crap in an intentionally controversial way (suppositions). This video challenges that the clock was homemade by showing a nearly identical package being prepared in about twenty seconds (screws and simple fasteners were excluded for brevity here).
