In the first SFW clip, a woman nonchalantly practices some dance moves in front of her fellow straphangers on the J train (the uploader identifies her as a stripper, but come on this is just gyration, does ANYONE see anything wrong with a little bump n' grind?).
Then in the much more NSFW video below, police are called to a stopped 4 train at Union Square station where a half-naked man is lying across the seats—he is forcibly removed from the train by cops.
