The Human Video Game Experiment: Week One
Note: The voting has been extended for another week until 12/16!! Keep voting!
In the Human Video Game Experiment you good people will be able to vote me to a location to perform an experiment. For example, this week one can vote me to go to the lovely Los Angeles subway, get on a car, and organize a group portrait of everyone in it, or you can vote me to go down to the infamous Rodeo Drive and offer up free piggyback rides to all the celebrities and the really rich.
So here are the details!! Every week you folks can vote for one of five different experiments; the one with the most votes wins and I will complete it at week’s end. I’ll post a video of the myself attempting the most popular experiment each week, and give you five new experiments to vote on, and on and on it goes until the project gets really weird.
The voting ends each week at 9pm Friday night, and please place your votes in the comments section of this posting or e-mail them to me at marc@ineedtostopsoon.com .
Your votes actually matter here!! Currently, Free Piggyback rides on Rodeo Drive is still in the lead with a solid 26 votes!
Projects to vote on this week:
1 | A Target Store | I’ll decorate your car for the Holidays | VOTES: 13
Description: Tis’ the Season!! I would walk around the parking lot of Target and offer to decorate peoples’ cars for the holidays. I’d use that fake snow spray, tinsel, gaffers tape, candy canes, and more.
2 | A Los Angeles Subway Car | Group Portrait | VOTES: 18
Description: Organize a group portrait of everyone in the subway Car. This will be tricky.
3 | The Grove Mall | Reorganize Your Purse and Wallet Stand | VOTES: 1
Description: I would offer ladies and gentleman the unique opportunity to have a complete stranger, me, reorganize their wallet or purse so it is more manageable and organized.
4 | LA Gun Range | Free Advice Stand | VOTES: 4
Description: Set-up a stand and offer up free advice to anyone who wants it. I really wonder what this is going to be like?
5 | Rodeo Drive | Free Piggyback Rides | VOTES: 26
Description: Offer shoppers free piggyback rides at the famous Rodeo Drive shopping area – this is where all the stars and rich folks shop at stores like Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Coach, etc.

I would love to see the Target christmas car one especially if you have them go shop inside while you decorate the car. When they come out it is ready to drive away.

Here’s a vote for the LA Subway group portrait. I’m very curious about the demographics of that particular car.

I like the group photo idea since it will make them feel better. But the piggy back is a close 2nd for the weird factor.
