Arachnids, aka spiders, may be a kind of insect that can keep other insects in check or may be the subject of classic children's literature, such as "Charlotte's Web," but to many people, spiders just downright make skin crawl. Eight legs and the potential to inject poison can have that effect. But in the case of comic book hero Peter Parker, popularly known as the amazing Spider-Man, a radioactive spider was the genesis of his superpowers — and Marvel Comics' golden goose.
Now what about a real-life prank involving these web spinners? Not just any small trick with plastic joke bugs but something completely planned — with props and captured by amateur videographers. And throw in a canine-sized faux arachnid with human-sized webbing for good measure. Just imagine the horror. Or not.
YouTube prank group SA Wardega, fronted by Sylwester Wardega, created just such a prank. The group shot it in a horror-genre style that would make John Carpenter — slightly — proud. The group's concept was a mutant giant spider-dog, and the five-minute viral video shows just how fearsome that kind of creature can be, even if it is just a little doggy.
Chica, the dog-spider, is the four-legged fur-ball actor garbed in an eight-legged tarantula costume. She also has a Facebook fan page where is written, "Yo! I want your soul." Yikes — a mutant spider-dog with keyboarding skills.
SA Wardega has made other prank videos but nothing like this adorable yet horrifying montage. The vid earned nearly 4 million hits in a day. Look out! Here comes the spider-dog!
A tip: If you happen to find yourself confronted by a giant mutant spider-dog in the chill of the night, don't run. A scratch behind the ears might be all you need to survive the gag.
