Barber cruelly pranks customer by pretending to cut his ear off

A Florida barber has become an internet sensation after pretending to cut off his 10-year-old customer's ear in the ultimate prank.

Jude Sannicandro, the owner of Hair Medics in Naples, used a fake rubber ear and blood to convince Vito DiPalma that his ear had been chopped off.  

Sannicandro quickly came under fire for the bloody stunt after posting the videoonline, with many critics calling it 'harsh' and 'completely awful'. 

But the barber said it was merely revenge in an ongoing prank war with one of his favorite customers.
