Two women fight and pull each other’s hair (and potentially hair extensions) on a Brooklyn subway this week… And I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free…
Are you SERIOUS? For Real. Let ’em come.
Meanwhile the baby’s stroller just rolls off the train in the midst of it… yey for citizen journalists. elfather8 recorded this video from his iPhone on his way to work on July 19, 2011 at around 9:30 am.
Thousands of apples roll out of an NYC subway car. Drives message home with authentic/amateur feel. Big stunt, simple concept. Visually unforgettable.
The only thing it ‘aint (as of this writing) is viral. Under 20K views. Posted in 2006 this would be at a million views by now. Show me someone who claims to understand what goes viral and I’ll show you a liar. I did try to send the folks some tips (click more if you want to read them).
Want to know the bad-ass part of this? You’re watching f’ing CGI. No kidding. This entire thing was simulated. I watched it 4 times and had absolutely no clue. I was SURE it was real. See the “making of.”
For what it’s worth, CityHarvest.org (CityHarvest YouTube channel) I totally dig it. Maybe next time see if a popular web star like Happyslip (a former New Yorker) will be in it… and post it on her channel. Then it would be at 2 million and counting by now.
P.S. Found this on Vidque.com, where I also found this unviral video “Facebook Status Update During Ceremony.” I like curators now. Even old musty ones.
