A Protest Of Origami Pigs?!
Protesting what he calls “a town where the cops (and absurd redlight cameras) are pretty much a money trap,” Bacon Moose, spent 4+ hours folding 137 individual dollar bills into origami pigs. He then put the pigs into 2 Dunkin’ Donuts boxes and delivered them to his local Municipal Court.
And thanks to a hidden camera, the entire incident was caught camera. Since being uploaded to YouTube last week, the video has gotten over 700k views.
“Yes, I know the video kinda sucks. I stuffed a phone sideways in my t-shirt pocket and just let it run while I was there,” Bacon Moose posted on his YouTube page. It “was kinda difficult to aim it.”
