Apple must be big in Japan

videos & pictures - I was walking down Michigan Ave, Chicago when I saw this guy dancing outside Apple's Store and not just dancing but dancing half naked and dancing in a crazy and wild way. Now I noticed that he had an IPOD Shuffle attached to the speaker (visible in picture) .. and he is also wearing a ID badge (that I couldn't get a closeup of)

Now was he hired by Apple to just dance outside their store? (some sort of marketing campaign for garage band - a Mac software) He had an IPOD Shuffle (a coincidence)? Now how come Apple doesn't tell him to stop dancing right next to their store? (basis: unappropriate or no clothing)




Right next to the apple store .. and Apple doesn't say anything? There was a small crowd that gathered around this wild music and japanese style dancing.


The IPOD Shuffle is clearly visible on the right hand side. It's hanging down from the speaker


I think it's just a play guitar .. he wasn't playing any music .. but was just dancing to it.

I really find this funny.I really am very sorry if I haven't visited your site for a while but on the 19th we had to rush my dying SIL to the hospital and on the 20th my DIL gave birth to my 2nd grandson and by the 21st I was already torn between the dying and the living. Sad to say, my SIL didn't make it and passed away on the 22nd. It was only after her cremation that I had recovered from the emotional stress we had all been through. It was a mixed emotional feelings from being sad because of the passing away of my SIL and from being happy because of the birth of my 2nd grandson. I hope you do understand me. I had posted it on my site but unfortunately you didn't visit so you I'm letting you know now.

No kidding! I was there when the guy was dancing. Nopes, I didn't notice the shuffle before ...

I saw the guy a couple of bucks south on Michigan at a Starbucks. He was in the line before me. I guess this was before his "performance" I thought he was a regular everyday weirdo ... now he's a celeb? ;-)

I love all of the laughing, screaming and whistles in the background...Fabulous!

What in the world is he wearing on his legs?? Kind of looks like athletic tube socks, but I've never seen any that stretch that far above the knee :-)

Gee, I wonder if he took dancing lessons to prepare? hahaha

Take care Nabeel

I dont think apple hired him. He is probably high on something and apple probably didn;t mind his presence as he was advertising their product. They would have done something if people complained.

As usual, well captured :) You da video king. :)

Twisted said...

Haha. THat's funny! Looks like this guy figured out Mac lovers would throw in coins if they see the iPod.

Hey Nabeel- that is totally HILARIOUS!!!!!! I was dying laughing the whole time.
Maybe if Bill Gates would hire a bunch of these guys, he would sell more Windows???

EXSENO said...

How did I miss this the last time that I was here.It's hilarious, but by the looks of the hat on the ground I think he is trying to raise some money for his self and I don't think he works for Apple, they are probably just ignoring him. lol
