Perhaps it's a metaphor for terrorists striking at an uninformed and unsuspecting populace. Perhaps it represents the quashing of outsider thought in mainstream society. Or maybe it's just a British guy getting punched in the face.
Whatever your interpretation, there's something striking about it (no pun intended). This man's reaction is a common one.

This post was deleted for the following reason: The critical reaction to this brief video clip of a man being punched and then cursing has turned out on the balance to be pretty dang negative, man. -- cortex
This man's reaction is a blank link. Lemme know what that was supposed to be and I'll fix it.

Having this on the blue is like being punched in the face. Is that the point?

The future is a british man being punched in the face, forever?

Perhaps when a Brit is punched, we as a species all are meant to feel his pain. Preferably through TCP port 80 at address http://localhost.

He looks like Andy Murray, and I am all for the pummeling of Andy Murrays face.

You were hoping this whole thread would just be people posting "Ah fuck, I can't believe you've done this," weren't you?

That's no punch. That's a poorly executed ear cuffing.

Pointless video link with over-thought out/tenuous (at best) commentary, anyone?
Are we trying to turn this into Break.com?
Or is anyone seriously trying to suggest there is some deep, inner reasoning and profundity in someone getting whacked on camera?

After the punch, I was hoping the British dude would serve cake, and then break into some passive-agressive I'm-coming-to-get-you jingle.
