For those of you who don’t live in New York City, here there exists a grassroots phenomenon where people throw blankets down on the sidewalk and sell their crap from them. And you can bet, all the items are always really, really interesting. So I decided to check it out as a grassroots marketplace and see if I could sell some stuff, too. And boy was it fun! And I totally made a profit. And I also got to talk to a Scissor Sister, too!

    Rez you should have edited this vid so that the fat guy put on the ab belt and then voila he becomes the tall slim guy with the dark glasses. You could sell a lot of ab belts that way. :P I agree with rslv & bobbybol77 I think you sold the Maria Shriver book to Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters. He must have got a lot out of that book since he later became a rock star.This is one of my favorite Resident videos. Do more street stuff please. :D

    Great video. Funny that multiple people put the ab belt on their bare bellies. Having only spent time in the NY airports and not the city, I have to watch your videos to learn about NYC life. Certainly different. I have videos in 10 languages in my profile if anyone is interested. Sherman

    I mean the low down dirty pigs who bug me while I’m biking home from Uni at 10 at night, who give old ladies tickets for jay walking while running for the bus and that will arrest you for shooting the mother f^^ker who came in your house to rape your family; butt hen will be Okay dokay for doing whatever they want. I am making a non specific threat to harm to harm police officers. I can only hope their children are all raped like they have raped the children of my town.
