In this video, titled "Guys on top of a bus (roof) as it is driving in New York City," you will see just that. It's the art of idiocy at its finest, showing a group of young men whom we can only assume are tourists, and whom we can only assume had some alcoholic beverages that night, partying on top of a moving party bus (albeit, a slow moving one). We're trying to find out more about the bus company, and also why these gentlemen opted not to surf, as well as other salient details about the video, which was shot somewhere in the East Village around 1 a.m. on January 11th. We'll update if we get more information. In the meantime, enjoy the ride to Stupidtown:
Last year a New Jersey teenager was killed when he stuck his head out of the roof of a similar party bus.
