The Boiling Hot Water Challenge [VIDEO]

I want this to be real so bad. I understand it's fake, and just about every "boiling water challenge" video floating around online is fake. But a boy can dream, right? I love the idea of people sitting around thinking to them selves "how can we top the ice bucket thing. Eureka, HOT WATER!". what's colder then cold? Ice cold! So whats hotter than hot? Boiling hot!

Sure maybe the first few were just pranksters making a couple internet jokes with their clever editing and terrible acting, but someone eventually has to do it for real, right? someone has to watch a boiling hot water video and think "man that looks real and that looks like something I should do".

Ask and you shall receive: Could this video be the first REAL boiling water challenge? Did my dream come true? If so why do if feel mildly responsible for it? This guy really looks like he pours boiling water on his face and for some reason I feel bad. I feel like i wished this into existence even tho it was upload way before I had this thought. Are my dreams that powerful?
