"Occupy movement attempts some protest speech in Grand Central Terminal, the voice is arrested quickly. They were trying to speak out against the NDAA. January 3, 2011"

Did you mean 2012?

Is it just me or is our Generation strange?

No, we're not strange. We're socially liberated.

NYTimes coverage of it here:

http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/12/pranksters-spoof-the-times/

In an elaborate hoax, pranksters distributed thousands of free copies of a spoof edition of The New York Times on Wednesday morning at busy subway stations around the city, including Grand Central Terminal, Washington and Union Squares, the 14th and 23rd Street stations along Eighth Avenue,and Pacific Street in Brooklyn, among others.

The spurious 14-page papers — with a headline “IRAQ WAR ENDS” — surprised commuters, many of whom took the free copies thinking they were legitimate.

The paper is dated July 4, 2009, and imagines a liberal utopia of national health care, a rebuilt economy, progressive taxation, a national oil fund to study climate change, and other goals of progressive politics.

It's a shame that so many things are just viral ads.... takes away from the wonder of it (Frozen Grand Central being the example).

Shame

Great though

This reminds me of the time I went to a haunted house with some friends.
Anyway, I was trashed out of my gourd, generally not a good idea at a haunted house, but I was a teenager so wtf, right. I see this skeleton like creature in the corner. I look at it a while.
I think to myself, "I bet that is a person, and I don't think they see me..." So, I figure that I am going to sneak up on them, see. Scare them, turn the tables if you will.
The skeleton start sneaking up on one of my friends. I sneak up real close, and prepare to yell, "Boo". Well, I raise my hands, and right as I yell the skeleton turns, yells, and their upper body collides into my outstretched hands.
Turned out, it was a lady skeleton. And she was none too pleased that I scared her, and copped a feel of her lady parts.

she damn well knew the occupational hazards involved with scaring people. Screw her and the skeleton horse she rode in on.

Swear to...(what do atheists swear to?) I was on the downtown 6 on a Sunday (Jan 13) and the train car was packed. At Grand Central, the car virtually emptied out and I realized that there were two average, ~25 year old lookin dudes, one reading and one sketching in a notebook, who looked totally normal aside from the absence of their pants. As the train pulled out of 42ndd, I looked at the man right in front of me and shrugged, "Hey, maybe they got stained?" People will remember IE.

I just realized some of the shots are straight from <ahref="http://www.videosift.com/video/Grand-Central-Timelapse">Chronos

*shakes head* Away with you.

Anyways, I was doing a search to confirm that this was in Hong Kong (it was, and additionally, she was the only one in on the joke) and I found this little story:

"A one-paragraph newspaper article describes a subway platform during the morning rush hour at Grand Central Terminal. A train pulls in; a well-dressed woman gets off. Before the doors close, the woman realizes that she is holding only one of her leather gloves. She looks back into the train and spots the matching one on the seat. It is obviously too late to dash back in to retrieve it, so with a cavalier shrug, she flings her arm out and, the doors about to close, tosses her glove onto the seat alongside its mate. The doors shut, and the train pulls away."

Not really on topic, but I thought it was too good to not share.

(googles)

yes, "cowgirl" is. in this video, it starts with the people on the escalators in grand central station.
