Watch Where You Step!

phppW7Rx3PM.jpg Remember when all we had to worry about was that silly underage foursome billboard? This morning was so innocent... but then we read about 48-year-old Georgio T., who gets his kicks by covering himself in carpet and letting people stand on him at bars. The NY Times reports that "the more people who step on the carpet, particularly if they are women in heels, the happier the man is"—and he told them he would be most aroused if two girls stepped on him and made out. He calls himself the Human Carpet and says when he was a youngster he “loved to have weights on me. I liked having my cats walk over me.” Now he gets paid around $200 per session, plus tips, and works a few times a week around the city, from the Meatpacking District to the Lower East Side. Not every night is full of action however, recently at a party at the Skinny on Orchard Street there was a hipster crowd, "not his most enthusiastic clientele, and there were long periods in which he simply lay there, motionless, alone in his carpet."

    This is really sad. I keep commenting how frustrated I become by stories about people with empty lives working so hard to fill them. Why didn't this loser turn his energy instead to stamp collecting or bird watching or bank robbing? This is just pathetic.

  • Say's the guy who probably couldn't pay a girl to even look at him for more then 30 sec.s! Its HIS life, let Him live it!

  • I remember a guy out in SF about ten years ago that liked to have attractive women throw pies at his face at bars. Oh yeah, and then there was that woman who loved latex balloons, to the point of giddiness.

    Funny. Never seem to hear of these things when Republicans are in office.

    I stood on him before he went to bars. It must have been early in his in his carpet man development.

    This guy ripped off Kevin Carpet who's been doing it for many, many years. Seriously, where have you all been?

    I bet this is carpet that never gets laid.

  • Why would he want to if this is what turns him on?

  • firewire
