CAN WE GET some sort of similar system in Ireland please? We’re sure there are many good drivers out there who would love €100 in the paw for their troubles.

The stunt was part of a Prank It Forward project, an annual week of positive pranks (and the same people behind the Emma Watson interview prank last week). For every 1,000 views this video gets, the organisers promise to donate $1 to charity.

Who says watching YouTube videos isn’t helping anyone?
