"Public Fighting is For Everybody"—Even Hipsters
And I Am Not Lying reports on a public Fight Club-type affair in Union Square last Friday, drawing a large crowd: "All kinds of people: old people, moms with strollers, skateboarding teens, foreign tourists throwing Euros around... A number of shirtless, scraped-up men paced the perimeter of the circle, alternately refereeing and answering questions. The rules were simple: find a partner, get in the ring. No face shots, tapping out ends the fight. No settling scores, just fighting for the fun of fighting." Our favorite fight? Two skinny hipsters! The accompanying video is sort of like watching a cockfight, if the cocks were scrawny, bobbing chickens. Which one will defend my honor at Hugs? [And I Am Not Lying]
