Desperate Comedienne Runs Around NYC Trying To Kiss Strangers For Film Role
Quote:She got cursed out, petted and kissed, and Farah Brook certainly made an impression that day in Grand Central Terminal.
The New York comic, who took touchy-feely to a new level by filming herself attempting to kiss random strangers, says she did it to land a film role — and was later surprised the stunt led to Internet fame.
Brook may also have found romance through her surprise smooching — and a bit of online controversy.
“I am very surprised by how strong the response has been,” Brook told the Daily News in her first interview since her video went viral.
She uploaded the video, called “Kiss Me NYC,” to YouTube on March 20. But it didn’t pick up steam, she said, until she shared it on Facebook for April Fools’ Day. It had been viewed more than 135,000 times as of Friday morning.
In the clip, which is set to Sixpence None the Richer's cheesy ’90s single “Kiss Me,” the bold Brook approaches men and women under the guise of asking for directions, then tries to swoop in for a surprise smooch.
In all but one instance, however, the unsuspecting strangers rejected her abrupt advance. Most of them walked off, and one man lightly pushed her away.
But Brook got a Hollywood ending from one guy who was dining alone when she approached him. After a moment’s hesitation, the gentleman passionately returned her move with a full-on makeout.
About that Prince Charming at video’s end, Brook told The News: “We're still talking ”
Brook mentioned having a boyfriend in a recent tweet on her account, but when asked about his thoughts on her filmed flirtations, she wrote: “My tweets are jokes, no comment on the boyfriend.”
Brook, a standup comedienne who grew up in Oceanside, L.I., told The News she conceived of the video idea as a way to fulfill an unusual request made as part of an audition for a film role: Pull any prank of her choice, on camera.
“I wanted to do something positive that involved love,” she wrote in an email exchange with The News. “I was very nervous about it and imagined best case: people would laugh; worst case: I would get punched in the face.”
Over the course of less than an hour at Grand Central Terminal, with a friend recording her efforts, Brook didn’t pull any punches — but she didn’t take any, either.
Some of the strangest reactions people had to her in-your-face comedy weren’t seen on the clip.
“A 'f--- off' didn't make the final cut,” she wrote. “Also, someone started petting me like a dog.”
The reaction to her video hasn’t been a total Internet hug-fest, with some viewers criticizing the clip by saying Brook's behavior amounted to sexual harassment. Brook, when asked about that interpretation, chose to be mum.
As for the film role, she hasn't heard back yet, she said.
Brook, who lives in the East Village, will perform at the New York Comedy Club on Saturday night.

I saw this when this was posted in the forum lounge. It's interesting to note how worthless this excessively white 6 is. She is part of a breed of white American bitches that are somehow almost completely useless even when young and without being fat or frankly ugly.
She is barely worth a 10 minute stall suck in the Grand Central men's room, just for doing this stupid nonsense. No kisses.

What's more, I'd say this girl is objectively pretty yet all these men recoiled at her approach. I believe SJWs around should praise their behavior.
Even if an unfamiliar girl initially passes the Boner Test, the boner will instinctively deflate if said unfamiliar girl acts that sexually forward toward you, as that kind of sexual forwardness from an unfamiliar female is likely to signal infectious or mental disease--the former of which you wouldn't want to catch for yourself or any potential offspring, and the latter of which you wouldn't want to pass to any potential offspring.
The boner: Always performing cost-benefit analyses on your behalf.

I've always kept girls in check when they pull some shit like that and don't know me. It has nothing to do with the war of the sexes, it has to with basic respect for others.

She get looped up and then starts flirting with all the other guys, and got all their #'s. WTF? I get up to take a piss, and upon return, see her in my seat playing on my phone. I told her to get out of my seat and put down my shit. She wasn't expecting the reaction and tried to save face by sitting in my lap. I denied the move and told her to get the fuck away from me.
The ones that do this need to be corrected, which coincidentally will lead to the bang faster than any other reaction. For the record, that blonde I mentioned in the quote above keeps a bit of distance but continues to qualify in the biggest way. I'm gonna fuck her when I can figure out how to get her outta the bar without any other girls seeing it....and keep her from ever finding out where I live or what I drive.

Women want to be taken seriously, but when push comes to shove, they don't want to prove they deserve anything on merit, it's easier to just pull a page out of the Old Hoe Playbook.
RE: Desperate Comedienne Runs Around NYC Trying To Kiss Strangers For Film Role
Good job on most of the guys pulling away and giving her a weird look.
I know for myself, any girl that's willing to give the goods (kissing or more physical things) with very little or no effort on my part raises all kinds of red flags and i automatically think I'm being setup.
A bit paranoid i guess, but me being a rather large muscular black male i have to work twice as hard to keep my rep squeaky clean.
This girl is the type of girl i consider low hanging fruit.
If you were at a house party of some university/college bar you'd see her getting white girl wasted.
She's the definition of a pump and dump. Full Stop. Fake name and fake number.
She thinks she's a "liberated sexual being" by acting like a hoe.
She's not a "bad bitch" in anyway shape or form, but because the amount of thirsty simp dudes that try to fuck her she truly believes she is.
Until reality slaps her back into place like the dudes in this video who wanted nothing to do with her.
In that video, the world (i.e. the one with men in it) was such a hostile, sexually aggressive, in your-face-place, that a woman couldn't even walk around (gasp!) without being bothered every three seconds. The horror! Just imagine (use Brian Williams' pompous newscaster's voice here) the terror of being a woman. The terror.
And yet now we find that when a reasonably-attractive woman approaches men in New York City and wants a kiss...she can't get one.
What to make of this? Could "reality" be determined by selective editing? Looks that way.
All that said, all this video does is prove that the main reason women aren't funny is that they mistake attention-whoring for comedy. Male comedy: let's look at the world and laugh at it. Female comedy: my vagina!

Because when women go direct, it's not done like this.
At least from my own experience, the only time a chick goes direct is when she's drunk, and she'll tell you before she makes a move, "I really want to make out with you."
Bitches will make out with a wall when they're drunk.
But some girl leaning in like that in the middle of a conversation? In any healthy guy, that would trigger his "crazy bitch" sensor and he'll naturally pull away, even if she's attractive. If a girl did that to me I might actually think she has some mild retardation. It's only because of the unbelievable thirst of the last dude that he went for it (and you can tell by the way he kisses, you'd think he hadn't gotten any action in a year)
Edit: comments section is encouraging:
Quote:So a man telling a woman to smile on the street is sexual harassment, but this isn't?
"...so I gave her an STD, and she STILL wanted to bang me."

6.5/10, WB
New York really must be a magical place. Dudes pushing away bangable bitches when they come in to kiss. Meals interrupted for a nasty-ass burrito-tasting make-out session. You guys have it easy.
Kidding aside, video was funny, the way she went in for the kiss was so obviously retarded that it worked. Too bad a dude could never do that.

That's clearly her best glamour shot.
The video doesn't lie, she's nowhere close to being above average attractive.
I mean, a "7", is typically the hottest chick at a regular nightclub, so to say she's a "6.5" is a stretch, I wouldn't even see her at a nightclub, as there would be chicks well above her.
Also her IMDB is about as bare as her chest, she's been in one "movie" and that was four years ago, so she's obviously no real actress, she's like an Instagram THOT who calls herself a model because her next door neighbor who's trying to hit it, took a few pics of her while she was hopping into the shower.

Cabron I just like white bread bitches. But I can see how she should be lower. A 7 to me is more someone who doesn't have anything glaringly wrong with them, not the hottest b in a given nightclub. To me that's an 8, shit, especially in Miami where you're at.
So she has a few things wrong, like her teeth and kinda long/big face... there's definitely something 'off,' but nothing glaringly so. Decent hair too.
Damn I need to up my quality...

She isn't fat, doesn't have short hair, no visible disfigurments/off-putting facial features. She's a solid 6-6.5. Just needs to work on being more feminine.

Loco, I may be quite critical, to me if I go to an average nightclub, the hottest girls will be 7s.
There's no doubt the talent in Miami is pretty strong, but you still have to go to the "nameworthy" places to see 8s and up, even here.
Here are pics of chicks from regular Miami clubs, pick out the ones you feel are 7s and up...

The dark-haired girl on the right in the second picture is honestly an 8 for me. The rest are really bad, because this is how they look like *after* they've already dolled themselves and dressed up. Maybe 5.5s, with the only 7 being the other girl in the second picture.
