Is there anything more compellingly awkward than a press event based on a magazine cover stunt from last decade? Not if the above video is any indication. In order to announce the American incarnation of the Virgin Festival, the first 50 people who showed at the Union Square Virgin Megastore wearing nothing but a tube sock (in honor of the Red Hot Chili Peppers appearance on the two-day lineup) received free tickets to the festival. Nothing eases the pain of a biblically nasty Monday than watching people with nothing better to do at 11 AM than flaunt the illusion of their manhood as lengthened by a white cotton sock. NSFW if your office has a problem with anyone but Anthony Kiedis pulling this crap.
