Stupid Publicity Stunts in NYC

From The Daily Beast who got it from The Huffington Post:

'Starbox' to Hide Celebrity
Our bet’s on James Franco: Starting July 23, Art.party.theater.company will put a celebrity in a box in Bryant Square Park in New York City. The identity of the celebrity is currently unknown—“We invite lots of speculation about who the celebrity will be,” says Artistic Director Mary Birnbaum. Visitors will be allowed to peek in at the celebrity in the box, so long as they sign a non-disclosure release.


There just aren't any words to describe the full extent of the assinine'ness of this.

  • Can one really be famous enough to be considered a celebrity yet so bereft of pride that this sounds like a good idea? As in, who do they get to get in the box?

    I think the casts of Jersey Shore and Big Brother would turn up their collective noses at this asininery.

  • I dunno...it's a fine line between celebrity and publicity whore. Much thinner than the line between star and reality idiot.
