We cause scenes.
Improv Everywhere is a collective of improvisers who believe that the theatrical event does not have to occur in a theatre. Rather, it might take place in a fountain, for example, on the subway, or in North Carolina.
To get a feel for their work, check out the mission report and video (28 MB Quicktime) for the episode where they 'hypnotize' some 'volunteers' in NYC's Washington Sq Park into thinking they are John Travolta, a male stripper, in the desert, or wildly attracted to the hypnotist's assistant, before rushing off to leave behind a baffled crowd.

The Haunted House is awesome. Although it might have caused some to think they'd entered the twilight zone.

Yeah. Tell 'em to try that in Greenville, South Carolina. They will end up in jail, arrested for Disorderly Conduct. But it's okay if you're a (Southern Baptist) street preacher. All hail Bob Jones.

King Philip IV

ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS!! I'd be tickled pink if I could see the King in person on a day I visited the museum. Boo on the guard!! Actually, if museum management was smart, they could do a promotion during the summer and make mega-bucks by 'introducing' patrons to art subjects. Can you imagine the queue there would be to meet the Mona Lisa?

*Say something nice* users sure do beat the lady with the bullhorn who screamed in our ears, saying we'd all go to hell, on our way up the line to see Last Temptation of Christ on it's opening day in New York City, 1988. Maybe our society might actually be improving afterall?

New Yorkers. Sheesh! Way to confound the stereotype, guys.
