巴士阿叔 - Bus Uncle

While this is actually quite old, I thought it was still blog-worthy. The video attached is a video phone recording of an argument between a young man and an old man on a public bus in Hong Kong. The old man - who now will be forever called 'Bus Uncle' - was talking too loud on his phone and the young man patted his shoulder to tell him to quite down. Then the real action begins and he begins to blow this small incident into something that would cause an internet sensation over on youtube.com, HK news and the asian population.

巴士阿叔 is said to be an unemployed man who receieves welfare payment from the Government. He has also attempted (three times) to become HK Chief Executive - which is the equivalent of President. Anyways, he has caused a sensation that has even led to the creation of remixes of rap music and commercial TV ads in HK.

I've only attached the original video (that includes Bilingual subtitles), if you would like to find more videos regarding Bus Uncle, follow the related links once clicking on the original video.
