Time Stands Still at Grand Central

In the words of Chris Farley, "I've seen a lot of things in my life, but that was awesome!" Improv Everywhere's latest stunt is extremely clever if for no other reason than it's subtlety. Much more subtle than their previous stunt 3 weeks ago where over 2000 people in 10 cities took their pants off on subways around the world simultaneously.

This time, a much smaller 200 people made time stand still at Grand Central Station in New York City... for five minutes. "Improv Everywhere Agents froze in place at the exact same second in the Main Concourse of Grand Central Station. Over 500,000 people rush through Grand Central every day, but today, things slowed down just a bit as commuters and tourists alike stopped to notice what was happening around them."

LOVE it ..

they do a lot of pranks similar to this one which i think is awesome! i totally love how the people are all of different ages and not just a bunch of young college kids. did you ever see the best buy one? that one was SUPER FUNNY. they all go to the best buy in new york wearing khaki's blue polos and "shop" and are told that if a customer asks them for help, then help them. if an employee asks what you are doing just saying you're waiting for a friend.

i shouldve just linked you to the video lol.
