[Important Nothing Is Really Real Is It? Update Below] After seeing one too many subway spaghetti slap fights, we generally believe that eating on the subway is a bad idea and just poor subway etiquette (unless you want to share a pizza pie with your fellow straphangers). Having said that, if you're going to eat on the subway, you might as well go all out and start shucking oysters, right? That's just what the man in the video below apparently decided to do on the N train.

"NYC is gross," writes the uploader. Clearly this person hasn't seen people popping each other's pimples or hanging brain. We also are hoping that this shuckster isn't just part of some stupid viral marketing—although even if it is, he's risking life and limb doing so.

Next time you're thinking about shucking in public, do remember to bring a classy tray table.

Update: Because nothing can just be what it is—and because nobody can do anything in public that isn't some stunt or call for attention—sources tell us the video is (surprise!) a "prank," and the guys shucking are actually BuzzFeed employees. Which makes this video a huge BuzzBummer and BuzzKill.

Maybe this was for BuzzFeed Videos, or maybe these guys really did just decide to go shucking underground for themselves. Either way, they are certainly no Brie-Eating Connoisseur or Barefoot Beer-Drinking Mama.

Update: A BuzzFeed source tells us that the employee in the video is "a creative who works on the ad side." But BuzzFeed spokesperson Ashley McCollum adds that this shucking project wasn't for them: "The oyster shucking was not a part of any BuzzFeed official or unofficial project. Just good ol' internet fun, it seems."

We're still feeling a bit burned by the (clearly) staged video, so we'll point out that just because it isn't a BuzzFeed video doesn't mean it's not a project for some other ad campaign. It's just like Oasis once said: don't believe the truth! Especially if you're slowly walking down the hall faster than a cannonball, which, really, doesn't make any sense. But neither does this video!
