We weren't the only ones that were tricked!

We caught up with Justin Bieber's mom Pattie Mallette at LAX yesterday and asked her about #burritogate, and she admitted that she thought it was "clever" and that she actually believed it was really her son at first!

In case you haven't heard about it, a video of JB taking a bite out of the middle of a burrito went viral the other day, but all wasn't what it seemed. Instead, it was a Bieber impersonator named Brad Sousa, who was hired by a company called Yes Theory and flew from Canada to Los Angeles to participate in the prank.

So why did they put so much effort into fooling everyone?

"We wanted to prove a point: that staging a story, as goofy as it was, can be done much more easily than most people can imagine,” a Yes Theory employee named Thomas Brag explained in a follow-up vid.

Media outlets everywhere ran the images and clip, before they realized that they had been duped!
