I am constantly fascinated with the how’s, the why’s, and the what-for’s of the world (guess it’s just the nerd in me). I’m also very intrigued by people’s reactions to the world around them. So in my ongoing pursuit of useless knowledge I’ve decided to conduct a social experiment. Now before you start rolling your eyes and twisting your neck (you know who you are) I realize this is not an original idea. There have been other social experiments before this. The so-called “reality” TV shows like Big Brother, the original “lets-get-a-whole-bunch-of-nutty-folks-and-have-them-occupy-the-same-space-and-see-how-many-fake-things-we-can-make-up” Real World, or most recently…damned near any show that comes on VH1. Before any of the million dollar homes to house these loons were built there existed another larger place where reality was, and is, actually real. They call it…NY. The Big Apple, the Gateway to the Western World, and probably one of the largest and most diverse collection of weirdos from all walks of life.
This will be my “house” and the characters are anyone and everyone. The experiment shall be called…
6 Dollars For 6 Days!
THE GOAL: Witness the reactions of 1 person a day for 6 days when I offer to give them $1 with no explanation as to why. How will they react, how will they feel, will I get shot?!
THE CHARACTERS: 2 Friends/family, 2 co-workers, and most interestingly… 2 complete strangers
Stay tuned for the ongoing results and keep your eye on the news the next victim may just be me.
