He's discovered that residents with kids are less likely to engage than "Hey we're in New York City!" tourists in Times Square. I'm happy for him. posted by rtha at 8:24 AM on March 16, 2010 [1 favorite]
So? I know plenty of guys who walk around the city with a big dick. posted by Houyhnhnm at 8:25 AM on March 16, 2010
I love seeing that the first couple of people he walks past in the final linked video barely blink an eye, or even notice that something is out of the ordinary about him.

I'm not sure if the NSFW originators really had this sort of thing in mind when they created the tag. posted by jadayne at 8:35 AM on March 16, 2010 [1 favorite]

In this case, the NSFW warning is totally redundant because of the details provided in the text of the post. posted by hermitosis at 8:42 AM on March 16, 2010 [1 favorite]
When you live in a city with guys riding the subway covered in filthy used diapers tape together into some sort of suit of armor to protect them from the screaming sounds of the police radios then yeah, a guy with a big stuff pillow dick isn't the most crazy thing you've seen all day. posted by wcfields at 8:46 AM on March 16, 2010 [1 favorite]
Also, what is "YGTI"?

"And one has to think of the phallus as not as the organ that immediately expresses the vital force of my being... but... as a mask that I put on in the same way a king or judge puts on his insignia -- phallus is the "organ without a body" that I put on, which gets attached to my body, without ever becoming its "organic part," namely, forever sticking out as its incoherent, excessive supplement."

Sorry Wolfgang, your request for NEA funds has been denied. Reviewers felt your latest requiem just wasn't edgy enough. Now, if you strapped a pair of giant boobs to yourself and walked around Salzburg, we might have something. Just get someone to draw sketches... posted by darkstar at 8:59 AM on March 16, 2010
Lucky he's got the giant fake dick, being such a massive wanker. posted by w0mbat at 9:10 AM on March 16, 2010
At work, so I can't view the links. Someone please tell me he's walked down Wall Street like this... posted by ZenMasterThis at 9:11 AM on March 16, 2010
Yup. The second video has him walking past the stock exchange. posted by zarq at 9:13 AM on March 16, 2010
I did this for Halloween a few years ago. I wore a suit with a not-quite-asbig wanger hanging out. I was an Aristocrat. posted by cmoj at 9:21 AM on March 16, 2010

That is, the surface area available now becomes two lateral, plus two halves of the two medial.
For reasons I can't completely articulate, this really made me smile. posted by quin at 10:34 AM on March 16, 2010
oh good god. come to mardi gras. there are at least a thousand people walking around like that every year and thinking they're being oh! so clever! while they're really just trite, sophomoric, and lazy). posted by msconduct at 10:43 AM on March 16, 2010
The big plushy phallus is filled with food stamp booty that his art school degree can't cover! Lazy!!!

Wow, a man carrying a fake baby and wearing a giant fake penis does nothing interesting and no one cares... posted by eperker at 3:32 PM on March 16, 2010
I think the problem here is that he's flaccid. He'd get way more of a reaction walking around with a giant hard-on. posted by stinkycheese at 6:40 PM on March 16, 2010
Did anyone kick him in them? Cause I would've been tempted. posted by jonmc at 6:49 PM on March 16, 2010
Does anyone even think this is art? I think he's just an attention whore. posted by Doohickie at 8:33 PM on March 16, 2010
I can't think anyone in NYC would blink twice at this. Surely to god there is something much, MUCH more weird going on every day in the city. This guy isn't even noteworthy in that context.
Take the Big Pink Dick out to some redneck¹ town down south or out mid-west, and let's see what happens.
