I figured as much, thus the caveat about the editing, but unfortunately these days if you're the public face of a company|country|state|whatever, it is better to avoid doing things which will make you look bad if you know for sure you're being videotaped and the situation can be edited for maximum out-of-context-ness.

From my point of view, I knew who Andrew Mason was, what he did, but had never seen him speak in public. Coming from that starting point, seeing this video gave me a bad personal first impression of him.

It is possible (perhaps likely) that whoever edited this clip didn't even mean for it to make Andrew Mason look creepy, but they had more context than the people who saw just the end result, so maybe this is also a warning to video editors as well.. always consider the impact your clips will have if viewed by someone that doesn't have the full context.
