Vancouverites perform “social experiment” on homeless man to make a point

Local videographer Terence Chung wrote in about a "social experiment" that he and his friend conducted in downtown Vancouver.

Basically, they gave socks to a homeless man named "Trench", and then came back and asked him if he could spare something warm to wear.

They recorded the results of their ruse—presumably without Trench's knowledge—and subsequent conversation, and posted it up on their VanCityVideo YouTube channel.

Their message? "Be good to those around you - help people in need."
