The Cult of Celebrity - Regular Guy Pranks New York City

Post by HenryGeorge »

On the night of July 27th, 2012, a huge prank was pulled in New York City and this is the video of what took place. Brett Cohen came up with a crazy idea to fool thousands of pedestrians walking the streets of Times Square into thinking he was a huge celebrity, and it worked! Not only did it work, it caused quite a stir. This social experiment, of sorts, makes a profound statement about how modern culture is so attracted to pop culture, without any real credibility needed.

Not sure if I want to get out of this madhouse... or get on a plane to a peaceful, isolated, backward island... or go on TV myself... or crawl under a rock in embarrassment for being American...

If you do all of that at once, it will be a reality show!
