If anyone wants to join the Search and Destroy Fresh Egg Anti-Magnolia Special Tactics Team, We (Um, I) meet in front of 281 West 11th Street.

It's as annoying as it sounds, but funny enough would be something you would see at weddings. I think those ladies would command big dollars and are perfectly themed! I think I see my buddy in there.

I live on Charles St. between Bleecker and West 4th and these obnoxious chicks have been ruining my weekends for months now. I had Googled them but until this post was completely at a loss as to who/what they are. I want them all to die. I'm considering hurling eggs if they insist on marching down my street repeatedly this weekend. It seems once a weekend or once a day isn't enough--the act goes on all day, day after day. Die.

This is an easy target. We get it: tourists go to Magnolia, Bleecker is super commercial, and the neighborhood once had a drastically different identity. I wonder what deeply authentic neighborhoods they all live in?

Now at least I know what was going on. I was walking to the grocery store and saw that and was so confused. Thank you gothamist!

"Curious whether this is as annoying as it sounds? There's some video after the jump!!!" I'd like to jump after seeing that video. From a 57 story building.

Matty, The economy is failing because there are people who apparently don't have to do *anything* for a living...

It's somewhat ironic and telling that the fake "cum" substance used in porn flicks is called "Magnolia". don't ask.

Does the fact that Magnolia's cupcakes are invariably stale and awful make the performance meta-ironic?

Never even heard of the place.

The Disneyfication of Bleeker Street is complete. Thank you ironic choreographerr. Why not practice your art in your own hood?

I still prefer the cupcakes at The Cupcake Cafe on 9th. They're dense and moist and the icing on each one is like a little work of art.

Good to know that no matter how bleak a day we have downtown, kitschy hipster alpha-consumer douchebags will still pull something "ironic" out of their asses to cheer the rest of us up.

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong... That tall chick on the right is hot?!? I guess someone had to give the song a little bass.

The only way to make 'God Bless America' any worse is to make it a song about cupcakes.

This is why the economy is failing. America is filled with people who do this sort of stuff for a living.

Magnolia is the leading cause of diabetes in the west village.
