The Cellphone Fight Prank A video

I've been doing prank phone calls for decades, with several best-selling CDs, a prime-time show on CMT, and several dozen telemarketers who want to smother me in my sleep.
Most of my prank phone calls are owned by various media companies that won't let me post them to YouTube. For some reason, though, other people can post my material to YouTube and have it go mega-viral. One of my prank calls, Murder Scene, was posted by a 12-year-old kid and got close to 80 million views.
This would be great, if it was on my YouTube channel. Or, you know, if I was even mentioned. If it was on my channel, my kid's tuition wouldn't be that big of a deal. You see, I get paid a dollar for every 10,000 views on YouTube. TomMabe.com has lots of my videos on it, but Viacom blocks most everything I try to put on YouTube due to the fact they own the footage -- not the bit, just the footage. The problem is people keep reshooting my bits, and posting them on their YouTube channels.
That's kinda cool and flattering, but there's still the issue of my kid's tuition! So I recently decided to start reshooting my bits (not my naughty bits, just the prank bits) and posting them online. This prank is one of my favorites. You may have seen the original cellphone fight video -- this is the new version, which I like even better. And if you don't, then COME DOWN AND FIGHT ME!
