What is this?

I don't know how to put it, a genetic error? Or some mutation?

You be the judge.

That was......bizarre to say the least. The legs look like someone walking backwards. Is this just a person with a severe physical defect?

It looks like a courier to me since it's pushing a package along.

No, but seriously. I have no idea. Maybe someone who was born with birth defects or was in an accident?

Edit to Add:
If anyone's seen the movie "Freaks", you'd be surprised what kinds of defects people can live with.

Looks like a guy doing a crab walk backwards, but then again.. he´s feet are pointing in the wrong way..

Yep, crab walk. This has been discussed a million times, and debunked each and every time. Cool video though, even if it's fake.

All strength to him, we all know how the human race reacts to someone or something different.

I'm sure even the animal race is trippin' to get a view of this thing. Lol, but seriously... all the power to him.

o.O

Poor man. But wherever he's going, he's getting there. Kudos.

More than likely, it's a birth defect. It isn't half man half anything. It's all man, and a darned brave one at that.
I actually admire his gumption.

Ok so you mean anyone could do a bridge (crab walk) and then turn his feet 180 degrees to make them face forward? ... Hmm...

I don't remember where I saw it but there was a documentary on this.

It is a birth defect of some sort and affects more people that you would think. A lot of them are in India.

I thought the same as you about the crab walk until I noticed his feet. How do you explain the feet? I also notice others do not get alarmed by this guy. They must be used to seeing him around town. Many people have birth defects. This is just another type that many have not seen.

Peace to all.

Or, maybe he doesn't have feet, and they're in shoes that are turned around? I don't know. I say we shoot it and find out what's really going on. I believe it's a hoax. But, belief isn't knowledge, so maybe he's a dog man, or an alien, or just a birth defect. I still think it's a hoax until other video evidence can prove me wrong.

In case anyone's interested, here's the full length version of "Freaks".

This was posted last week, the thread is here. General consensus is that it's a stunt of some kind.

I've never gone with majority rule and I'm saying he has a deformity.

Here are some instances that may explain his condition:

I don't know what's up with the person in the video, but I'm voting for physical defect.
Besides, if someone were really pulling a trick, would they really think to push a box along with them? I really doubt it.

I recommend watching the movie "Freaks" that I linked to in my above post. It's a highly controversial horror film that was produced in 1932. Every person in the movie that plays the part of a "freak" is actually suffering from actual physical problems.

At its core, Freaks is a perfectly ordinary revenge drama. What makes it totally unique in the long history of film is its unusual setting, and the unprecedented way in which that setting is depicted. The story unfolds within the Rollo Brothers’ traveling circus, but the central characters are, for the most part, not the clowns, acrobats, and animal trainers with whom most circus movies concern themselves, but the freaks of the circus sideshow— the midgets, dwarves, pinheads, conjoined twins, and other human oddities who make their livings less through their special talents than through their sheer physical abnormality. And, of the greatest importance in this case, who are played here by real life midgets, dwarves, pinheads, conjoined twins and other human oddities!

Indeed

I think this is called grasshopper syndrome or something along those lines, referring to the guy's joint and foot position. I've seen examples of this on TV before. Whoever claims this is some dog/human hybrid needs to get a life.

This is a physical defect and has been documented before in the past. I watched a show on National Geographic and ones on History2 which depicted the surgery needed to correct a man who's knees were backward at birth. The end of the program showed the man's recovery and physical therapy and left off with a scene of him walking(with cane walkers on his arm) rather well.

There are other documentaries about them as well. But no, this is not a human dog hybrid. The only way for that to work is genetic tampering and as you can see in the provided video, the area shown and the state of the man show that funds aren't quite up there for that.
