What the hell?! Who eats seeds? Why is it so offensive? Does every Chin subway have a little Captain Manners superhero guy whacking chewers with a tiny hammer?Asian cultures really confuse me.
FAKEhttp://www.shanghaiexpat.com/blog/shanghai-and-china/about-china/watch-what-happens-when-you-spit-melon-seeds-on-th-39328.html?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=vid-watch-what-happens-when-you-spit-melon-seeds-on-th-39328-2016-03-15Cue the the Rickroll music, because as our more discerning readers have figured out by now, this was all a publicity stunt. It was reportedly performed by a Xi'an film company, who made it to advocate more civilized behavior on the metro. Because what's more civilized than a man in gold plated armor reacting to a minor offense by taking a hammer to another guy's head like a meth-addled Super MarioYou can clearly see 'melon seed' smiling at the end. Also, as you've probably noticed, the sound of the hammer hitting the body is a bit "rubbery."Or if that doesn't convince you, check out this photo of the hammerer and hammeree rehearsing the stunt on the curb....
Thanks for ruining my day, Asshole.
