Yes. The mask though originally came from the film 'V for Vendetta' (the main character wore one). I believe so anyway.

..it's not callous at all though Jack..I cringed when I watched the vid for lots of reasons..that guy is not going to be any less 'segregated' because he's been given some money on a 'one off' which he may or may not spend on alcohol/food..no one knows but either way, he'll still be where he is tomorrow and the next day because what they did was of no 'real help'..and do they actually help people in ways that really would make a difference..do they donate regularly to charities for the homeless..give up their time to work in shelters...even buy a McDonalds or something..a hot drink etc and give them to people...old warm clothes they have in their wardrobes...something that would make a lasting difference....do they give them any advice on any programmes etc which could help them learn some skills and get them 'off the street'....
..I don't see that being a bit sceptical of what they're doing or how it will benefit him is being callous...they say they're 'anonymous' but yet they're 'playing' to a crowd of people there..I would be more convinced if they really were anonymous and they 'anonymously' gave that guy help..but giving money to someone is kind of the easy option...no effort really..that poor guy like so many the same needs help that does require effort and time..and a real commitment...maybe they do that as well, as I don't know much about them, (and I will read up on them)..but I didn't see any of that in the vid...just a bigging up of themselves and a guy who would maybe eat (or drink) for a few days ....and then everything will be as it was for him....
