EV Grieve: [Updated Again!] Astor Place cube pranked

Wednesday, December 14, 2011

Our friends at Welcome to the Funhouse spotted this early today ...

Credit then to the the Caltech Prank Club ...?

Yes, it has been turned into a Weighted Companion Cube ...

@mylestanzer noted that the Astor Place cube police have removed the gag...

Runnin' Scared has more on all this here.

abrod said...: Cute. Begs the question though; why are Caltech students pulling pranks in New York....? Is this the beginning of a nerd-Biggie and geek-Tupac thing?; December 14, 2011 at 9:24 AM
chet said...: the sweater cover lady is Olek... and it was a big bummer that the parks dept cut it right down. boo!; December 14, 2011 at 11:29 AM
Hey19 said...: Yeah, unoriginal, Olek ripoff, but still cool. Original and cool is tough, one out of two is much better than the average.; December 14, 2011 at 2:53 PM
Anna D said...: Thinking of Olek, she is having legal troubles in London right now and could use some support.
