I like part where the female dog reacts to the male dog touching her too much.

I like the part where the street performer punched the guy in the face for touching him too much.

So is it illegal? I'm not in any way defending her, just curious if it is somehow illegal... I mean, how would it be legally different than a street performer pretending to be a robot? Just to be clear: she's an incredible douche.
In NYC here are some nuances about public performances. I don't know all the specifics but it's something along the lines of you can't explicitly ask for money or donations. So I think cops could arrest her for something. But I think public shaming is a better punishment.

Almost every morning on the F train there's a guy walks through train cars with a cup, shacking it and asking for spare change. But he doesn't say he's homeless or hungry or anything like that. Just asking for money. He's dressed very nicely too, so it's not like he's in need.

Let's be clear. You're asking if fraud is illegal.

This also isn't fucking news. If you've ever been to a major city, Paris, Berlin, New York, LA, this is how it works! No ones forcing you to give money to people.

I guess having a cousin who performs in the circus has me bored with this video, I tried, really I did, but It's not funny...


I dunno, when the dog charged him it was pretty hilarious.

Can't say I know anyone with your kind of family though, so who knows.

I live in a smallish town in the midwest; there is a community orchestra and a generally 'old-person' community band that play outdoors a few times each year. Also community theater. Also an inexpensive 'artist work space' thats really a big warehouse that a guy rents out sections of for people to work on, view and collaborate in art projects. Also... well, a lot more.

When I first got here I needed not only to find people and pay attention to postings about these things, but also to appreciate that these things are actually fun, and the quirkiness and unprofessional-ness of much of it can actually be charming when there is no pretentiousness.

Why does neat stuff like this only happen in foreign countries?
I mean, other than them all being arrested for disturbing the peace or street performing without a permit.
