Travelers look on in horror as man reads fake books about nonsense on the subway
People are fucking clueless. It's like, sure, we know there's a real world out there and for the most part it can affect what we do and how we think on the regular. But most of us are so stuck in our own heads that we're rarely, if ever, paying attention to surroundings. Especially on something as squeezed and uncomfortable as public transportation. Eyes down, headphones up. You know the drill ...
Comedian Scott Rogowsky wanted to see just how much people on the subway in New York were paying attention to others. So he made up a bunch of fake book covers, with such classics as "Mein Kampf for Kids," "Murdering For Dummies" and our personal favorite, "Slut-shaming Your Baby" (which, let's be honest, are all probably real, somehwere — just not popular).
The nose-jerking looks and uncomfortable stares he receives are something to be admired.
