JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Punch a Panda! Feel Good! NEW YORK (AFP) – Angry enough to punch a defenseless panda? Then come to New York. Every week this winter, performance artist Nate Hill dons a panda suit, heads onto the streets, and challenges members of the public to take a swing. "Hit me. Hit more hard," he urged passersby on a freezing afternoon at busy Union Square. "You know you're angry, you were angry this morning." A towering figure in white panda paw gloves, bodysuit and a head the size of a prize-winning pumpkin, the panda hopped down the sidewalk like a boxer. Hill, 33, said he thought up the persona of Punch Me Panda as a "community service". "I knew people were angry. I knew people want to punch things, because I want to punch things," Hill explained.

ieatcrayonz Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Punch a Panda! Feel Good! Eventually he will have to diversify. I can envision: "Punch a Panda" Monday - Thursday and "Kick a Panda in the nuts" Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cugalabanza Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Yeah, why a panda? I understand the desire to punch somebody, but wtf? He should dress up as a mosquito or a rat or a politician or a banker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Why a Panda? Because the dude batted .263 with only 13 HRs this year. I'd kick him in the nuts too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
