I love how some of the reactions seem genuinely concerned, an epidemic of stuck people, their dialogue straight from a sci-fi movie

What else can i say. that was aweseome. I love the fact that only one person got up enough nerve to touch someone. The whole time I was thinking what if someone just tackled someone ... or took a wallet or something.

Definitely Left a Mark, and the documents that fell @1.32, brilliant!
It might have been too freaky if on cue from alien thunder and flash.
MacSmiley 4 years ago

Way too funny! Loved da guy that couldn't move his car. "Never mind."

I've watched this about 10 times already, between YouTube, Revver, and Vimeo. But I just noticed that the guy with the backpack walking around asking questions is the guy who wields the megaphone at the very beginning!!
