bored at the mall? need a workout?

URBAN TAG! Pretend to have stolen something and get the guards to chase you!

I'm torn between "that's hilarious" and "what the hell, people".

Cross this with parkour and you've got a chase scene from generic summer blockbuster.

It looks like something that was done for a hidden-camera TV show.

[rmd.livejournal.com]

yeah, the multiple camera angles.

I thought of Parkour, too. But that would be dangerous for the poor guards who are just trying to do their jobs. And he's not trying to actually hurt anyone. But it would still be kind of cool to watch.

What am I saying, this is a huge waste of everyone's time. This is the difference between a good idea in your head and a good idea in real life.

Yeah, it would still be cool.

this, this is what reality tv has done to the world. (and not just the US!)

bad choice in US, too many guards with guns, not to mention bystanders

Wait, what?

You don't actually think anyone carrying a gun would shoot a shoplifter, do you?

Re: Wait, what?

[tamidon.livejournal.com]

depends what state...have you been in a state with an open carry law and a Starbucks?

Re: Wait, what?

I'm actually fairly okay with that. I figure they're doing it to make a statement about gun rights rather than because they're expecting to need to use it.

I'm much more worried about the I'M A GUARD REALLY I AM PRACTICALLY A COP mall security types. the type who've watched "bad boys" a few too many times and are waiting for their chance to have a big gunfight and take down the bad guys in a blaze of glory.

Re: Wait, what?

[tamidon.livejournal.com]

honestly your scenario is more likely...I'm just being snarky...but the issue of an overadrenalined armed security guard is more likely to lead to tears

Re: Wait, what?

[milktree.livejournal.com]

You live in a concealed carry state, how often do you see people getting shot? There's a lot more guns out there than you think.

Seriously, do you really think that people with guns are itching for an excuse to shoot someone?

Training for some track & field event? Need motivation to go fast? Beats the gym, I suppose ...

[sparkymonster.livejournal.com]

wow.

That is a serious combo of stuff white people do (http://stuffwhitepeopledo.blogspot.com/) and look at this fucking hipster (http://www.latfh.com/)

[rmd.livejournal.com]

yes. quite.

[cz_unit]

Sounds like something to do when life is boring.

Not OK with that

[drwex]

messes with my idea of consensuality in adult behavior.

[miss-chance.livejournal.com]

I'm going to go way out on a limb here, and guess this is a game that only white people play.

[rmd.livejournal.com]

yes. yes i think you're right.

[achinhibitor.livejournal.com]

"A game only white people play for long."

[tinlail.livejournal.com]

This is apparently for people that live in a universe where actions don't have consequences.

[rmd.livejournal.com]

spain, i think. not sure.

"Urbaaniurheilu" Finnish. Almost certainly television because there's a laugh track.

I like the cowboy hat, like a name-check of the USA while committing faux urban crime.
