Video: Ecstatic Dad Wins $7,500 Bet On Giants, Taunts IRS
("Put it on IRS YouTube!")
An area Giants fan won some money after his beloved "G-men" won the Super Bowl yesterday, and his dignified celebration was captured on video and posted on YouTube. Then BuzzFeed picked it up, and here we are. (Look, we don't make the rules.) To be sure, it is pretty "LOL" to watch this grown man completely "OMG" lose his shit like a tween going "WTF?" outside a Ke$ha concert. But it's even LOLer when his wife appears to warn his kids not to post the video on YouTube. In response, the exultant winner orders his son to post it on "IRS YouTube."
At press time, the IRS YouTube had not commented on the video.
