Foo - cyclist vs boisterous pervert

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A0VpGcA0C4

now that i've posted i'm going to look up wat a goober is


*NSFW - language*

i don't get it.

Which one was the pervert?

is the op the cyclist in the vid?

The videographer wasn't doing anything wrong.
The two women and the cyclist are the jerks in this vid.

She is doing a performance in public and being photographed by others. There is a crowd watching her perform. huh?

the cyclist asked him to leave at 1.40? he owns the street?

Kinda like mr. beanz vs. another skinny guy with shaved legs who thinks he's a tough guy. A whole bunch of bluster and nothing happens from either end.

It's ironic because telling a photogrpaher or videographer to leave a public space is like telling a cyclist to get off the road!

Funnier is no one says anything to the photographer sprawled out on the ground taking more provocative shots..

Uh...doesn't the cyclist's chivalry appear to be motivated by "hey hot girl notice me defending you." and not for nothing but there is a difference between a pro shoot and some random guy with a camera being a distraction.

I just love it when women dress in a revealing nature and then they themselves (not in this case) or others get offended when others look. Does the old bag and the idiot cyclist really think this young lady is concerned about people looking at her, even in a suggestive manner? Did it even occur to them that she is using her looks as a means to get attention for whatever act she is trying to perform? Did it even occur to them that THEY are the ones screwing up the whole thing? People are idiots.

Stop making sense. Reason will get you nowhere here.

The videographer isn't doing anything illegal. "Wrong" and illegal are two different things.

He was being an obnoxious a-hole and a pervert, thus asking him to "move along" was fair enough. The fact that he was prepared to stand his ground and argue when asked to leave proves that he was up to no good (aka being a pervert).

he actually wasn't obnoxious at all until everyone started telling him something. He was not disturbing the performance in any way. If you want to go out to one of the busiest intersections in the world in tiny shorts and start doing splits, you must expect something like this.

the fact he refused to leave just shows that he has as much right to stand there as the next person. I doubt that group rented out that corner and has the right to ask anyone to leave or "move along"

But regardless . . . it was the video guy who posted the whole mess on youtube. The guy's got issues.

Maybe mr. camera guy was touching himself. You never know.

Why is she doing ballet warm ups in the streets? So we are called goobers now. Goober is from Frank Oz's Fraggle Rock.

The cycle guy puts himself face to face with camera guy and says get that camera out of my face. very funny. I'm getting in your face but get that camera out of my face! The "perv" accusation i think can go either way. I can see both sides of the argument. The confrontation with the totally unconnected random cyclist is the funny part.

Photo shoot, for some reason or another - notice the photog with the radiopopper (for off-camera flash) and the assistant with the reflective dish.

goober -- so what are we then?


stupid person, airhead, slow
1 + 1 doesnt equal to 11, it equals to 2 ya goober!

basically a goober is just a kindhearted, rather oblivious goofball. it's term of endearment really. it comes from the ancient scottish verb "to goub", which has to do with doing a dance and smiling sheepishly while doing so, exposing the goubs in one's teeth.
"That John is such a goober," said Jane as John vector-danced* his Junior Prom away.

*footnote: the vector dance involves angling one's arms to form angles and vectors and pumping them back and forth to music. basically, it's geeky as hell. but completely sexy.

A term of endearment used in place of a person's real name; a nickmame. The first word that comes to mind when your baby starts to crawl, walk, talk. Used only in the most loving of ways with no negative connation at all. A loving nickname for someone who is pure, innocent, warms your heart and makes you smile.
Have you seen Goober?

Incorrect. Standing your ground is in no way proof of any wrong doing.

Idiots galore in this vid.

Anyone who intentionally does something provocative in public has no right to be annoyed if their plans succeed. Even someone like me would get plenty of attention if I went out in public wearing a skin tight nothing and started sticking my butt in the air while bent over a chair I grabbed by a sidewalk cafe while people pointed reflecting panels and cameras at me. But in all fairness, it appeared the shoot may have ended because of the confrontation rather than the attention the girl was getting.

Most if not all the people hassling the video man were themselves ogling. Why weren't they just going on with their business like most of the other people passing by or in the background? The guy shooting was intentionally been an ass, so any moron could figure that he wanted attention and simply ordering him around wouldn't lead to anything good. The cyclist shouldn't have touched the guy, his camera, or run over his foot. That's way over the top even if the videographer is a total dоuchebаg.

And a bunch of us actually watched this. I want the 2 minutes of my life back.

Exactly. It was the old broad who made a stink in the first place. Seems like she's the one with the issues, and then we she took it upon herself to characterize the camera guy as the pervert, the herd mentality took over. I applaud him for standing up for himself.

Don't cyclists do this, but we don't call it a chair...we call it a saddle?

No. Ski racers also wear skin tight clothing, but I doubt you would try to also make that poor analogy.

The guy with a camera is always wrong. They should be used only in private.

Thanks for that criticism...you need to lighten up. I was not being serious with the analogy.

Sure, and we're regarded as ridiculous looking exhibitionists.

I suspect that if we reduced the length of our shorts by 50%, chopped our sleeves, cut the fronts of our jersies to reveal our chests, and then went into contortions in a public walkway, we'd attract even more attention.

I think pcad may have already done that. :roflmao2:

Dang..you beat me to it!

Correct.

zing!

Old lady, younger lady, and or cyclist might have known the "performer." As such, they might have been privy to who was being a professional and who was out of line, and acted accordingly.

Think of it this way, the photographer is supposed to get a photo of your sister/daughter/friend doing handstands on a chair on the corner. Some guy walks up and points a video camera at her crotch. What would youndo?

what would I do? I wouldn't have allowed my 17 year old daughter to go to a busy intersection in tiny shorts to do splits. the situation would never have had a chance to occur.

Everybody in that video is a moron. It reminded me of a real life BF fight.

I bet the girl and photograper were really undercover cops. You know that you can get into trouble now for videoing cops out on the street doing their jobs. I bet that is what it was. :)

I think pcad may have already done that. :roflmao2:

There's something to that. Though he has his work cut out for him if he aspires to the beefcakes thing...

a local blogger/photographer has an entire blog about how this is not true http://carlosmiller.com/about/

Uh, well, I wasn't being serious about my criticism. Take that.

How anyone can say the cyclist was not wrong is beyond me.

wow, still open?

"Hey man you just rolled over my fut":lol:

Exactly... and being both a cyclist and a photographer, both are equally wrong to me. He has done nothing wrong except acting like a pervert.

Unless, of course they had a permit from the city to shoot and rules similar to LA. Here you can lock down a set and keep others from shooting it close-up (though it's still not illegal) but for four people, I doubt there was a permit.

I don't get how what he did makes him a perv. Maybe all he was doing was making a video to show people back home what people do in the streets of NYC, or where ever it is.

He's not part of the photography session. He's not hired to shoot that video, meaning that he has no rights to the session and has no obligations to control it.

So, yeah, it was a perv hoping to get some jackoff material to use at home.

No rights to the session? It was in public.
How was he trying to control it?
You go on vacation, don't take your camera. Wouldn't want you doing weird things to Mt. Rushmore.
