Watch this video! A guy accidentally shot his partner in the head with an arrow. I received a forwarded email with this video on 13/09/2009.
Out of of curiosity, I just did a google search for 'russia's got talent?' and found it on youtube. Then, I saw another result - 'snopes.com: 'Russia's Got Talent' Accident'.
So, yeah. This is what snopes.com has to say:
Claim: Video clip shows a Russia's Got Talent contestant accidentally shooting his partner in the head with an arrow.
Status: UNDETERMINED
Example: [Collected via e-mail, July 2009]
Origins: The above-linked video is variously reported as an audition for the television show Armenia's Got Talent, Poland's Got Talent, or Russia's Got Talentgone horribly wrong, a haplessly comedic "William Tell" act that ends with one participant taking an arrow straight through the head. No such show exists, however (the set in the video curiously features only a generic sign reading "Talent" in English), and the clip is rumored to be a viral marketing campaign for the beverage in the red can which appears prominently in the video.
