Yes, the megaphone was attached to a podium that said “Say Something Nice”, but you half expect some New York jackass to hijack the megaphone and curse everybody out (maybe it was edited out!). But seriously, watching this will brighten up your day.
It was a stunt pulled by the lovely folks of Improv Everywhere: they wheeled a megaphone and podium into Union Square and just left it there. Once people noticed it, they jumped at the chance to address the crowd. My personal favourite: when the little boy says “To Infinity and Beyond”.
Check out Improv Everywhere’s website to see how they pulled it off, and how you can take part in future missions. [ImprovEverywhere]

Now if that was in LA you’d have had something VERY different!
