COOL OR NOT COOL: POLE DANCING ON THE L TRAIN?

Similar to most trains in NYC, the L has seen its fair share of action: Random xylophone interludes, kids half blacked out and puking on their Doc Martens and high schoolers selling candy, "But not for a sport; not for no basketball team" (I'm sorry, I know they need to make money, but they really should work on their marketing tactics). All those kids use the same spiel time and time again. If they got a tad creative and switched it up a bit maybe they'd see a bigger profit. Just sayin'. But regardless, it seems the L train has been going above and beyond the normal threshold of obnoxiousness these days. 

A few weeks ago it was a 3 course extravagant luncheon, and last week, perhaps a little less classy, a male exotic dancer tore up the L train's poles, doing inverted splits on the ceiling adorned in nothing but little black booty shorts and stilettos.  Gothamist reported that the stunt was created to market a Girl Talk album, using Track #7 featuring Lady Gaga or some shit like that.

I have two comments:

1.) If this is the actual reasoning behind this video, shame on you.  It seems the dancer took a fair amount of time perfecting his moves and squeezing his kibbles and bits into that little black jammer, the least you could do is take the time to edit the video with the actual soundtrack in the background, and not have someone haphazardly play it on the train all 90's boombox style.

2.) While it is a nice gesture, I'm gonna' go out on a limb and say Girl Talk is doing quite alright without your scantily clad contributions.

Impressive nonetheless.
