Is this a joke? - Nathan Robinson
This week I wasn’t on a train and I’m not sick, so I had no trouble getting everything straight on time (except for the abundant distractions provided by my wonderful friends here in Seattle). Both videos this week are reactions to that heavily-edited “catcalling” viral thing; the first was provided by Rick Horowitz and the second by Mike Siegel (who also gave us “ghouls” and “shoplifting”). Everything above the first video is from Radley Balko, and the links between the videos from Clarissa (“recycling” and “mistake”), Grace (“resisting”), Jesse Walker (“music”), Mistress Matisse (“never call”), Cop Block (“first aid”), and Joyce Arthur (“together”).
