This prankster makes commuters really awkward with explicit fake book covers

"If I Did It: How I Would have done 9/11"

Have you ever felt judged by others about your choice of reading material on public transport?

Maybe you got around it by popping your copy of that unputdownable dystopian young adult novel inside a book jacket of Alex Ferguson’s biography?

Well, American comedian Scott Rogowska teamed up with Playboy’s channel Chortle to create this prank of himself reading fake books with bizarre covers on the New York subway system.

Countless passengers are caught staring, giggling and tutting disapprovingly at Scott’s book collection, which ranges from ‘Definitely Not Porn’ to ‘101 Penis-Lengthening Tips’, and some even more obscene titles.

Credit to Scott for managing not to laugh or look overly embarrassed.

The video was first shared by Ozzy Man, a YouTuber who you may remember from his earlier series of commentary and reviews. If you like this video, check out Chortle’s new sketch ‘Hotel Brotel‘ too.
