10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Man. Two days ago, we got to see what kind of harassment a woman in the street experienced. This naturally suggests the question, "But what about the experiences of a white male?"

This is like the fucking stupidest, dumbest, most unfunny video.

I also think unfunny. I get the point, but like, you know what attention a white, cisgender guy gets on the streets of New York? None, unless he's trying to hail a cab.

I agree it's a satirical misfire, but I actually did think the guy high-fiving him for five minutes was pretty funny.

Does this really merit a new thread?

I laughed, but this seems thin for a FPP.

Funny or die? I vote "DIE."

Funny or Die might benefit from some Hot or Not up/down type voting, so there is the chance for videos to die.

I don't think the larger point they were trying to make really came through - they were focusing too much on trying to be funny. I did think it was kinda funny, though, in and of itself.

The original Hollaback video doesn't "naturally suggest" "What about white males?" to me at all. Other than, "What about them?"
