I didn’t expect to top the last recession DVD salesman, but we have. Heroically. And on the same street corner.

I can honestly say I have never been closer to purchasing a DVD for $5 than I was right here. Commanding the attention of thousands of New Yorkers at rush hour on the corner of 7th Ave & 34th, this man unabashedly paced back and forth, fearlessly shouting, “Everyone! Come and see! Everyone! Come and see!”

I was secretly hoping he was about to hog-tie a tourist with a steel bar off the stair railing.

And while generally speaking I am an advocate of relevancy in marketing, I can’t fight the awesomeness of those cowboy boots.
