Thanks. We thought so too. We had Semi-Charmed Life in there, but it was copyrighted so we had to take it out.

LOL. I once had a Prof. at NYU who said we should all tape an orange peel to our heads and walk down the streets of Manhatten and see what happens. I never had the guts to do it, but judging by your video the reaction is pretty much what I expected, funny video.

and maybe even a kick to the balls.....................whic­h would have then been seen as socially acceptable even though there's the use of violence..right

thanks for the vid. deviance is worth looking at. some ppl were thinking that you were deviant, attention-hungry, foolish etc, but very few if anyone actually said anything. they would gain nothing by pulling you aside and asking "why r u wearing a banana suit, whats ur problem" maybe because it held no benefits for them and because it was inoffensive. if u were wearing a nazi sign instead of a banana then u would have definitely gotten some public backlash

Dan, you look like you're having a blast! Want to try this on a corporate campus? You could compare the social norms of a college campus to the corporate world. But have a get-away vehicle handy!

Well-made video - congrats to everyone on the team. I hope you all got A's.
