Random Lady Wearing the Red Crayola Suit

posted by on August 22 at 11:04 AM

Do you want to punch her or sock her?

Reviewing footage, there is one final scene that must be shared:

01:40 - A woman at the Block Party really, really wanted to wear the red Crayola suit. The allure of the costume became too much for her and she had to have it. She had to experience the furry suit from the inside. Once she had it on, she didn’t want to get out.

Everything was cool until some guy socked her.

Out of nowhere, her friend gets even.

The woman didn’t understand that when you are at a public event in a big red shaggy costume, people are going to sock you. People are also going to tackle you, swarm you, and grab you.

Why? I’m not really sure.

But you also get hugged. And you get to encourage and distribute glee, which makes it worthwhile.

The guy who socked her was discourteous though. It could even be said that he was an asshole. His punch was on the rough side of playful.

Why do some feel an instinctive and uncontrollable urge to do violence to people in big furry costumes?

If you saw Barney or a Teletubbie walking down the street, would you punch or hug?

You could stop with the questionn "of why do people feel the need to be violent..." let alone in costume or not. In costume, we can do anything because they aren't real. We punch because we need to hit something. As the rich get richer and the poor have no where else to live, there will be more punches. Could we put Cheney in a big red sock?
Thanks for a thought provoking story. You rock. And when do you rock again in Seattle?

Come on now. Let's hug the furry costume people. If we can't hug them, who can we hug?

He's an asshole for sure. Belligerant. I'm glad the friend got him.

I will admit that I feel an urge to frolic with people in suits like that, but my frolic is fun frolic. If I punch, it is a fun.

I would punch Barney too.

id venture the need to beat fuzzy muppets is some kind of primal urge, some instinctive defense mechanism. fuzzy muppets might steal your food, or steal your female. so you punch them.
