SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 13 — Tech reviewer Marques Brownlee, widely known by his online alias MKBHD, was caught accelerating a Lamborghini to 96mph (154kph) in a school zone with a 35mph (56kph) limit.

The whistleblower? MKBHD himself, in an advertorial video he posted on his YouTube channel that showed the speed at which he was travelling as well as a road sign indicating he was in a school zone.

A controversy is now brewing online as MKBHD blurred out the speedometer on the Lamborghini, indicating he knew he was speeding, but missed out a second speed readout on the passenger side of the vehicle.

He later deleted the clip under the guise of removing superfluous content from the advertorial, which some critics said would include the entirety of the video.
