Many just sat there with their mouth wide open, until suddenly a guy approaches the girl and touches her ‘face’. This viral launches the Cosmo For Guys magazine app.

This video appeared online a couple of days ago, it instantly went viral. Two guys their flight got cancelled so to kill the time they have some fun at the airport. At first a lot of people thought it was real but when you look closer you start to notice some strange details, there is nobody at the airport and the quality of the shots is amazing. At a certain point you can see an object marked ‘EOS’ in the guy’s backpack. Probably this is a commercial for Canon, we cannot guarantee it but we are pretty sure.
