There's this site called Hasid or Hipster where you can go and try to guess if the pictures are of the Hasadim or if the photo is just of a hipster. Before I make a fool of myself, please note that these are pictures taken in New York.
I was playing this game one morning instead of doing anything constructive, and I thought it was pretty amusing, so I called Momo in to play it with me. This is the photo that was on the screen at the time...
I explained the concept to Momo and he looked at the photo and then he looked at me. He looked back at the photo and looked back at me. He had a very confused look on his face. He finally said, "You want me to tell you if Rabbi Shmuly is a Hasid or hipster?" Oh... yeah. We actually know that guy. Come to think of it, the guy on the far side of the bench is also in Eighth Day. (Here's a link to the "official" Lalili video. Here's a link to the Mickey Mouse version.)
The New York mention doesn't really mean anything. Chabadniks are constantly traveling everywhere, but especially to New York and Israel.
I tell my son, "Okay, okay... that was a bad example," and then we set off through the photos. I quit playing with him after a few minutes when he said, "That guy is Chiam's brother." It's no fun to play if you actually know the guys. It's okay for me to play alone, because I never recognize anybody.
