What's New, Memecat?

Street-cyclist extraordinaire Nathaniel Kassel made a fun video of his pranking New Yorkers hailing their cabs.

When Joseph Carnevale arranged some traffic barrels into a hitch-hiking monster, he ignited a fad that will amuse us and drive municipal road workers completely mad.
