Two BYU students were curious to know if people still kissed under the mistletoe, so in an experiment that classifies as hardcore seXXX for Mormons, they dangled the holiday plant over their test subjects to see if they’d go in for a peck. The female sociologist had men drooling all over her, while the male, well, he done got slapped.
The “prank” is otherwise kind of cute — old people kissing is never not adorable — but the real highlight is the aforementioned slap, which happens around 30 seconds in. Joke’s on her, however: he spread the mononucleosis onto his cheek before filming. That’s how viruses work, right?

MAN she slapped him hardcore. How did she get “cretin who deserves to be punch-slapped” whereas all the other gals went “well… that was weird but endearing”.
Slappy woman needs to comb through her thought process and realize some things need reconsideration. What a freak.
I thought it was weird they did it at BYU, but it actually makes sense.
If you were to do this at Arizona or SDSU, you’d end up with all sorts of nasty STD’s
This whole thing is generally pretty tame, and seems kind of endearing. The hosts are approachable and seem likable, which makes the slap that much more of an overreaction. She wound up and hauled off on him in a completely unnecessary manner. I get the feeling some of her friends put her up to it, what with the way she ran off afterward to the louder applause than normal.
