Veronica Moss Visits Times Square
She's back! The woman you love to hate (and hate not to love) Veronica Moss, a Washington, D.C. lobbyist for - ahem! - the Automobile User Trade Organization (A.U.T.O.) In this "chapter", she's getting her first gander ever at the new pedestrian-friendly Times Square and she invited Streetfilms along to record her virgin journey.
Naturally since she advocates for cars for a living with her every breath, her viewpoints are bound to rankle some of those in the livable streets camp. Here are a few splendiforous musings as she reminisced about the "old" Times Square - where visitors "had to fight" for every last inch of space:
- "Pedestrians are cystic acne on the teenage forehead of this city."
- "I used to feel this wonderful sense of being totally overwhelmed and being displaced when I walked through Times Square. And that's how it should feel."
Of course, that's nothing new for Ms. Moss, who first appeared on Streetfillms a few months ago in an "exclusive" interview to let us know how she feels about cyclists and pedestrians.
I just can't stop watching this!!
Oh my god, it looks terrible!
Great job!
Hilarious. Brilliant!
Cuter and better-written and acted than last time... keep up the good work! BUT let's hope that Ms. Moss doesn't give in to "comfort" until there are many (many) more street improvements in NYC, and not just in Manhattan.
I'd luv to see Veronica particpating in a state DOT Phase I study intended to explore alterantives for reducing congestion in a heavily traveled urban highway corridor. Could be another classic . . .
this is LMAO funny...better than those bits from SNL or elsewhere. AND educational! StreetFilms continues to kick some serious arse.
Veronica is a total babe, even for a cager.
Todd,
Wish we could claim it was written, but except for a few ideas/suggestions I had for her, it was all improvised by "Veronica". But thanks for the kudos!
The creative people of streetfilms have done it again! Thanks for this beautiful propaganda.
Steve,
"Beautiful Propaganda"???
What a wonderful term....
A cheap Samantha Bee wannabee.
So excellent!
I cannot wait to see what she has tp say next. Will she ever actually ride a bike?
Another great video from Veronica. We featured the video in Tacoma:

Thanks Streetfilms!
This is lame, LHAAAM even for agent provocative levels. But it would work for SNL.
Going on to watch Crowder, who can pull this stuff off.
Wonderful... Best bits: "This isn't Italy, This isn't a piazza" and when she encourages cars to ignore lightweight bollards and turn into pedestrian zone. Keep them coming!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is great!!! sadly it seems that most Americans seem to share this view when they go to vote for public transit / smart growth densification plans
LMAO
