Take on the Times Square Kiss-cam

Is there anything more ridiculous than that big stupid kiss-cam in the middle of Times Square? Every day I try to walk home and get stuck behind this crowd of 100 people trying desperately to get their miserable Midwestern mugs onto some big jumbo-screen for 15 miserable seconds. It is not as if there is some value or a prize for getting onto the screen as nobody is giving out free pack of gum or rolls of condoms, so the only pleasure must be seeing yourself on a grainy TV screen.

At least when people go nuts at a baseball game there are 50,000 other people looking, in this case the only people who are even paying attention are the same people in the shot

    Times Square is better than it was in the 60s and 70s. It used to be hell on earth. See Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" for reference.

    I prefer today's Times Square to that.
