If you’ve lived in New York for any significant length of time (or any big, big city I guess) you’re probably accustomed to seeing all kinds of different things, people and odd happenings. So, sites like PeopleofWalmart.com that have pictures of all kinds of, um, different folks shouldn’t really shock and awe you. Chances are you’ve seen any number of those people on your way to work or the local grocery.
As such, when I heard about Alex Ovechkin driving a Zamboni down 6th Avenue next week, I yawned. It’s a great idea and in any other city it would certainly capture a lot of attention. I mean, how often do you see a Zam driving down a city street in September? OK, let me rephrase that. How often do you see that outside of Canada or Minnesota? Never. But in New York, it will get looked over as if it was another cabbie honking a horn. Maybe if Ovechkin does it nude and has a megaphone, it would capture some attention. Or if he was having a three-some with Alex Rodriguez and Elliot Spitzer’s hooker while naked on the Zamboni with a megaphone. Now that — that would be front page news.
(And yes, I’m kidding. This should be pretty cool, but I’m sure it won’t get attention from any NY media outlet.)
