He even to conivnce another actor on IMDB.com to give up Joe Cummings (I) so he wouldn't have to be Joe Cummings (ll). Definitely a fake, and an attempt to go viral.

One, this video is not a viral campaign by us. We played a role in making the video go viral but it's not ours -- that's actually the reason we deleted the tweet which we felt was misleading. We thought that was the right thing to do. Also, we were never contacted by anyone at Agent Genius with any questions about the video, our role in it, why we deleted the tweet or what conversions we saw. We wish we had been since we are extremely responsive to folks who reach out with questions. If people have questions about the video, naked apartments, or our involvement with the video please feel free to email me directly at sdesai at nakedapartments dot com. Thanks, Shankar Desai CEO & Co-Founder nakedapartments.com As the CEO of Naked Apartments, I’d like to chime in.

There was a homeless woman living in a closet or something in his apartment. While he was at work, she would eat and shower at home.
