For 30 Minutes, ‘Cheeseball Man’ Makes New Yorkers Forget About Hating The Jews
For a brief moment Saturday, the New York hipsters took time out their Palestine protests, or screaming about Trump, to enjoy life by watching Cheeseball Man eat an entire jar of cheese balls at a park.
What a beautiful moment it was at Manhattan's Union Square Park where an anonymous 22-year-old masked man put on a performance that New Yorkers will be talking about for years to come.
"Watch me eat this entire jar of cheese balls," a masked Cheeseball Man announced on posters around the city as part of his simple marketing scheme.
And the people showed up.
At the end of the day, it's New York and the city loves a unique underdog story like what they saw Saturday. It was the perfect spring day to forget about disinvestment and Trump court cases.
"I think everybody wants to be behind the mask," Cheeseball Man said of his big moment in front of hundreds of fans. "I didn’t really expect this many people to show up."
After 30 minutes of pounding cheese balls, Cheeseball Man had accomplished his mission and NYC hipsters went back to their lives being outraged by politics, housing prices, food prices, etc.
But for this one moment in 2024, all was right in the world thanks to a man who was on a mission to distract society for 30 minutes.
It worked.
