A Most Unusual Panhandling Scam
This subway beggar can't be for real.
Who can possibly be too lazy to panhandle? This guy.
Saying anything more would be a spoiler, so I'll just mention that in the pantheon of begging gimmicks – from San Francisco's World Famous Bushman to that awful woman in Manhattan who pretended to have a spinal deformity – this one is so surreal that I am 75 percent sure that it's a fake. So if you're a film student or comedy troupe who made this video, own up to it now.
