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.

Eventually he will have to diversify.

 

I can envision:

 

"Punch a Panda" Monday - Thursday and

 

"Kick a Panda in the nuts" Friday.

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...

Panda's are just big rodents, really.

Why a Panda? Because the dude batted .263 with only 13 HRs this year. I'd kick him in the nuts too.
