Gel speaker Charlie Todd's latest prank
Aug 24, 2006
Gel speaker Charlie Todd (Gel '05, :'06:) ran another prank in Manhattan recently - this time instructing his army of agents to walk in slow motion through the 23rd Street Home Depot. (Anyone at Gel :'06: will note a similarity to Cathy Salit's talk... see clips of Charlie and Cathy both on the Gel videos page.)
As usual, Charlie posted a well-written summary of the planning and execution of his prank - including several videos taken in the store. From Improv Everywhere Mission: Slo-Mo Home Depot:
If spoken to by an employee or customer, agents responded in slow motion speak (slow and low), and denied anything unusual was happening. Freezing in place was much more impressive. In every aisle and corner of the store there were people frozen mid-shopping.
