But with stories of actual ignorance I heard, and people uploading other's blunders, I wasn't going to discount authenticity just for stupidity. I consider myself pretty good at picking out fakes. I think it was really well done (as a fake) and well acted.

If I were prompted to look for authenticity, I likely would have noticed some defects. One, the couch and coffee table are too close for the door to open all the way. That's a give away. Although there's certainly an optical illusion there. Another thing is, the alcohol doesn't seem to have a genuine label. Also, the glass coffee table seemed to lack proper structural resistance. And the sound of the breaking glass table didn't sound right -- the timber was much too delicate and high pitched. The "PC-Mic pickup" sound indeed helps hide that.

Anybody see anything other credibility problems?
