Lie Witness News At SXSW Proves People Will Hilariously Claim To Know Anything

One of Jimmy Kimmel‘s greatest gifts unto the world is the knowledge that if you shove a camera and a microphone into someone’s face on the street, they will agree with just about anything rather than risk coming off as uncool.

And nowhere is that attitude more hilariously highly concentrated than at big, sprawling music festivals. The annual SXSW conference is currently taking over practically the entire city of Austin, Texas, packing untold amounts of bands into venues across the town, whilst scores of punters and industry types alike scramble about the place trying to see as much as possible.
After successfully leading unwitting participants down the path to LOL City last year, Jimmy Kimmel Live had another crack at taking Lie Witness News to the streets in the middle of the show’s run of broadcasts from downtown Austin.
In among the usual bunch of fake band nonsense – DJ Gluten, who some find hard to tolerate, DJ Cialis, who really gets the crowd up, and Cheese Wiz Khalifa – was the slightly more blatant DJ Jimmy & the Kimmels, what appears to be the Gurning Cowboy who I sincerely doubt had any idea SXSW was even happening around him, and a heartfelt and impromptu plea to Texan legislators to decriminalise marijuana in the state.

‘Sif you don’t wanna be mates with that Bearded Behemoth. What a dead set legend.
