last night, i started to photograph this gigantic teddy bear (well, monkey) when...a guy jumped out to scare me. he said he'd been in there for 3 hrs. then he bolted up and feverishly started to look for his wallet...
a woman nearby kept saying "ohmygawd, that's the cutest teddy bear" to which i said, "i think it's a monkey" to which the guy inside the stuffing said "it's The Beast". Can't argue with that. he picked up the head and the stuffed animal had no face.
We've got no idea, either.

the guy was inside the monkey? crazy! can you imagine if he fell asleep and was thrown into a garbage truck?
He kept saying that it was for a candid camera show. I doubt it.
that poor bear, he did nothing wrong!
This is why we beat up hipsters.
Poor MONKEY #3...
I love this... man, that's some old-school NYC shit...
I wonder if the guy left the stuffing out there when he went home. Maybe he has tons of cotton batting at home.
I passed by this bear/monkey thing just before the Panda Bear show at Bowery Ballroom and snapped a picture of the guy climbing into it. Don't have my camera with me at work, though...
The Beast better stay out of Brooklyn!
no #4, you are why New York is boring.
i saw it tonite, close to my office, around bowery and spring, the guy wasn't there tho and it just looked like an abandoned poor teddy bear monkey
This reminds me of something that happened to me and a friend late last week... There was a large, long box (looked like something that might've held a flat-screen TV) just sitting at the corner of Rivington and Eldridge... when we walked by it, a young boy leaped out and scared the crap out of us!
We noticed right afterwards that there were quite a few people casually standing around waiting for this to happen (apparently after having been scared by him themselves)... we joined them and had a good time watching the *next* group of people get the "treatment." Hilarious and totally random.
(yawn) Ah, yes, so-called creative type jumps out of large stuffed animal in the age of low-budget reality TV. I'm going to get back to my nap.
This is sick. Poor animal. Lock that man up and take this site down.
Did you see the part where the guy got out of it? That was great!
That is so fake. Like a monkey could get that big.
