Last week, graphic artist and Union Square anthropologist Normal Bob was put under the NY Times microscope for a closer look at the weird and woozy world of Union Square Park which he lovingly covers on his website. Now, you can see some of those strange characters without any of the hassle of actually hanging out in the park—Bob put up a video with footage of those "Amazing Strangers," set to the song "New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down," by LCD Soundsystem. Among other things, the video includes lots of people nodding off, a man sucking on a woman's toes, odd dancing, and fights galore.

If you haven't spent much time in Union Square, then you might think that it's just filled with Greenmarkets, Holiday chachka vendors, and skateboarding hooligans. But you'd be missing out on the truly colorful, weird world of the square, which has whole subsections of strange inhabitants and regulars. All those various types of vagrants are memorialized on Normal Bob Smith's website, the anthropologist of Union Square.
