It's strange because not only does the one in front of him fold back in on him, but the one opposite him starts moving too fast, but in the correct direction? Even if it's a fake, it isn't one that make sense.

My only thought is that it was on a really windy day and that by sheer random chance, a huge gust hit as the two sides were both open.
Otherwise there is really no explanation for both sides snapping shut like a book.

I was thinking maybe it was from one of those hidden camera prank shows and the guy was in on it.

It might have something to do with the person from the other side as if trying to come in from the opposite direction.
yes, the person coming from the other direction pushes on his door which causes the door of the guy on our side to push him back... surprised he stumbles backwards as the safety thing in the door releases. The pushing of the guy outside + the moment of the door behind our guy + the stumbling backward = hilarity. Although I'm surprised the glass broke that easily. That makes me suspicious. |

Unless it was designed to shatter harmlessly. Maybe they make doors out of candy!

Stunt windows!  But yeah, watch the glass shatter. Granted, it has to be a tempered glass, but no glass, not even tempered turns to dust when it hits the floor. |

Stunt windows! That was actually my thought. Candy glass revolving door panes rigged to snap shut on command. |

This is a mechanized revolving door and (because there is no hinged door next to it) it would have to have a "panic collapse" system per the fire code. Such a system is designed to do just what it did there if enough stress is placed upon the door mechanism which was caused by the dope pushing on it the wrong way against the mechanical rotation. The glass is just tempered glass that is designed to fall apart like that under the impact of the panic collapse.

Was waiting for someone to come post this. That door was just working as intended, no internet magic. As for the bottom left corner, it's just the air rushing in as the slight seal the revolving door has is no longer there. |

That whole picture is just strange (beyond the obvious lulz). Why is the naked man there, a very young child, with a couple of furries in the background and everyone has a video camera? What the fuck kind of parade is this? The Furries and Naked Pedo Cinematographists Rights parade?
Ninja edit: It reminds me also of a terrible truisim that can only be experienced at places like the fitness club where I go to work out. There is a certain subset of men that seem to have absolutely no modesty whatsoever, and when in the changing rooms they love to let it all hang out. Walking around, in the steam room, in front of the mirrors clipping their nose hairs - all the while with their dangly bits on display for the whole world. The one thing that all of these men seem to have in common is that they are either way too fat, old, hairy or generally ugly, and are the last people you would want running around in the buff. It's never the normal people. It's really remarkable.

What you're describing are the normal people. The toned gym rats at your fitness club? They're the outliers. |

That looks about right for Bay to Breakers in SF. I missed this year's because I was overseas, but it's always a good time. Scary naked people notwithstanding. |

Another example that normal is a hopelessly skewed concept at this point.

Yeah, I have fond memories of the Bay to Breakers. Plenty of crazy people, but mostly the fun and enjoyable kind. The creepy, naked kind has a minimal presence. Complaining about naked people in a fitness club's changing room is  . |

The only funny thing about that is "Celebrate originality" at the end of the add, which is fucking hilarious considering the content.

Don't get me wrong, I like star wars but this recent star wars revolution has taken its toll and I am officially sick of it. Congratulations, you have a darth vader costume, now stop taking pictures of yourself doing stupid shit in it.

I'm damn surprised they appeared or allowed their likeness in the campaign. They have been very reclusive in the past.

Considering how many shots they were in through the whole clip, I expect they were part of some initiative rather than compelled into something.
