Making Money From a Kick in the Head

Jared Frank was in Peru and taking a selfie of himself when a train passed behind him and a person kicked him in the head.

According to the CBC, Frank’s 11-second video has become such a viral sensation that he could possibly make anywhere from $30,000 to $250,000 off of it (“he was told his video could earn in the range of $2 to $16 per 1,000 views and he would get a 70 per cent share”).

Brb, walking around recording videos of myself until something interesting happens (JK, becoming a viral meme is my nightmare).
