I think no smoking Joe mentioned that he worked for them in one of his rambling calls

Oh gawd.  Because those guys (who I also don't believe worked for Fox News) were trying to do their jobs without the interference of some costumed irritant they are obstructing the fight against HUNGER! 

[Dorvid Barnas]

That costume certainly ended my hunger.
I bet it's a pain in the ass to smoke in that thing.

[John Junk]

They called Boring Owen for this job becaue he's the best lingerer they've got.

Great find!  Everybody is so uptight back in the east - they need to get hip-i-fied.

The thing is end hungrr doesn't appear to be set up like any other typical charitable orginzation. I totally think there's a problem with malnutrition in the US and getting the word out is good, but this seems more like an art project then chairty.

NY Police and NBC or FOX people are evil none-the-less.

I think I'm with Joe-wen here! He was there first and these guys show up to film people buying a new phone. How exciting! He was just standing his ground..

Problem is, that's not a costume.

Boring Owen is a monster projected out of Tom's subconscious into the real world of flesh and blood humans like you and me.

I, for one, will sleep less well tonight knowing that it has been unleashed to wander the streets, harassing people in the most boring ways possible.

Wow, if Tom's subconscious is producing monster ala some anime we are in deep doo-doo.

[kenkwan]

Yeah, just imagine the havok caused by tall bike gangs. Tom's poor grandmother!

I've gotta say, Owen has gone up in my book big time. He's out there on a hot day in NYC spreading the word about something that helps better the world, and these NBC douches try to get him to move just so they can get their pretty shot for Live At Five.

Those two cops are weak for backing the dinks with the camera.

Owen is no longer Boring Owen. He is now The Boring Knight, fighting the good fight. You keep it up, buddy. You're doing something that counts, and I am impressed.

Tom.

[LostInReno]

He is just trying to save the world.
