"Our Town," it's not. In this video, what looks to be a second- or third-grade class puts on a theatrical rendition of the final act of much-quoted, ultra-violent Al Pacino classic, "Scarface."While the wigs, costumes and the dialogue are scarily true to the movie, they do substitute the giant pile of cocaine Tony Montana famously has on his desk with popcorn, and all the F-bombs become "fudge."
When Tony falls into the pool, dead after being shot hundreds of times, the audience of parents let out a hearty cheer. All we can say is "What the fudge just happened?"
Read on to check it out.
Update: Something isn't quite right about the YouTube account of Cindymomof6, the woman who posted this video. Suspiciously, she just signed up for YouTube a few days ago. And her profile comes off as a parody of that of a Christian conservative.
We also agree with our friends at Filmdrunk -- there is something too good about the "amateur" camerawork. So yeah, we're calling fake.
Update II: TMZ is reporting that the viral sensation is the work of Marc Klasfeld, a music video director who also did the video for Lady Gaga's "Pokerface," among many others. The kids were actors, and the audience was family members, friends and colleagues. Pretty sweet media manipulation, Mr. Klasfeld -- Gaga would be proud.

This is such a viral video...It leaves me wondering who the fudge would let their kids do this...I think that the kids parents where on "popcorn" when they signed the permission slip...but oh well can't try to figure everybody out.

LIz, you hit the nail on the head. Prayers are forbidden in schools and other non-house-of-God places but violence is welcome everywhere and children are used and rewarded for such disgusting acts (in school play, community ctr play, or any site play). The parents of these young children are even more ignorant idiots to allow them to participate in these scripted plays. Yes Scarface is a classic film with a great storyline/plot but it is not appropriate for school children to view, let along perform it.

There has been a war going on forever BECAUSE of religion. There are thousands of interpretations of the words in the Bible that causes people to seperate because of difference of opinions or commit violence acts against each other because "god told them to." During the Crusades the Pope who was a leader of the Catholic church was the commander in chief and do I really have to mention the Spanish Inquisition. So when the dust settles you have to ask yourself which one has caused the most violence? Religion or Scarface? I'm pretty sure we both know the answer to that now.

This drives me insane! What is the name of this school. As a Christian it drives me crazy that we can't say "God" in the Pledge of Alegance, but we have kids not only mimicking DrugLords and killers but saying over and over the Childs version of the F-Word. And the school gets away with it. Who are these parents? And what in the world obligates them to stick around and watch their son get murderd. Is it that this is their favorite movie and thats what they like? Oh, these kids are going places. To the top! Top of the Americas Most Wanted.

You got it backwards there chief kids are allowed not to say it, not not to say it. Drugs sex & rock & roll cause far less damage than gods Jesus & the Ayatoll...ah

I think it's awesome, it stirs up a lot of controversy and I would definitely let my child participate.

Good god, i'm 18 in 2 weeks.. Even I can't believe that somebody thought this was a good idea, and other than some simple symbolization that could of been put out in another way was used... Scarface? Are you serious?

Really what diffference does the race of these CHILDREN make. Yes it is a bit over the top SCARFACE in elementary. But playing the race card is getting old on all parts. AND I can bet dime for dollar that the Native Americans could have made some of the same comments. CAN NOT anything go on in this country without the race card being tossed in the ring?
