    Excuse me, is there anyway I can un-see that picture?
    Thank you.

    The only way to un-see this moronic street performer would be to get a full-frontal lobotomy, which he apparently already has. He regularly performs in Union Square and Washington Sq., shocking tourists and young children alike with his bizarre antics. He basically screams, makes faces and humps lamp posts, wearing only his undies, red socks, sneakers and knee pads.

    He is basically like the faux-homeless redhead model/performance artist Ellen Turrietta without the entourage, makeup and film crew. If I had nightmares I'm certian he woud be in them. When you see him, and you will, please do not encourage him in any way, it only makes him act out in even more bizarre and terrifying ways.

    Giovanni, go take along bath and a clonipin. The world is more beautiful when you don't take it so seriously.
