Authorities at Sweden’s Bromma Airport didn’t find it funny or entertaining when they were made the scapegoats of a stunt by private television station Kanal 5.
A heavy bag was brought to the check-in counter and during procedures, the bag was opened and a dwarf hopped out. A hidden crew was filming the incident, expecting to get a crazy reaction to the situation, something that could be aired on the comedy channel.
Other than feeling “shocked and humiliated” it is unclear how the airport staff actually reacted, and the channel promises that “extreme situation entertainment” footage is all they wanted.
I think it’s quite an original candid camera tactic, and since the airport isn’t pressing charges, looks like they’re not taking it too seriously either.
The things people do for a giggle. Sigh.
