Specious Kindness Sure to Wither in Face of New Yorkers' Cheerful Cruelty
As part of the Come Out and Play Festival of xtreme street-game tardation, New Yorkers are invited to be Cruel 2 B Kind. Unfortunately, the "cruel" part manifests itself via the "kind" — teams of idiots must locate their opponent and "kill" them by correctly guessing their vulnerability to a particular act of kindness, such as a compliment, a cheer, offering flowers, or perhaps a friendly reacharound. There's no way to identify other contestants, so you just wander the playing area perpetrating unasked-for kindnesses until you get someone, or an opponent notices your gauche behavior and somehow kindly takes you out of the game, or until you're dragged into an alley and beaten. Registration is open, and the game goes down September 23.
