Cool. Usually the only people moving in slo-mo at Home Depot are the employees.

It's good to mess with reality every once in awhile. Wal-Mart needs a dose of this.

Reminds me of culture jamming. I like the one where a group of people throw money down onto mall crawlers and watch them fight each other trying to grab a few dollars.

Just to piss you off NASCAR-boy, I just declined an offer to go see the race that Danica will be in AND to meet her beforehand (privately, of course). :p

I would say welcome back, Kaiser, but you have sorely disappointed me as well as Nick...


I've heard of this group. NPR featured them in a story a while ago. They do strange improvisational theater in public places. One of their most successful "gigs" was when they had a group of people descend on Starbuck's, each with a pre-arranged scenario that they re-enacted again and again as if they were in a time loop. There are a lot more video clips at their website.

My favorite is still the group of college kids that got a bunch of cars on an interstate and actually went the speed limit in all the lanes and had traffic tied up for miles to point out how stupid speed limits are.

If you've ever used the self-checkout lines at Home Depot, slo-mo is nothing out of the ordinary.

Their Best Buy job was hilarious; I remember seeing it several months ago. Awesome what happens when barely-trained retail employees and managers have to deal with situations clearly not covered in their corporate policies.
