crazy man here in Toronto named "Zanta"

For the past few years, there has been a man running around the city going "Don't abuse your kids, watch me do pushups!" He will run into a subway and ask for attention while he does pushups all year long. And just the most random and funny shit he will say. I haven't seen him in the last year, but you will think he is messed of crack 120% when you see him. Somehow I found out he has a facebook fan page and I think he has a real name too!

Watch some of his videos, if you have been to Toronto you will reckon the busiest streeets. He will stop traffic to do pushups. And now he is getting a movie or documentry made on him apparently!

Oh man I remember that guy! Have you ever seen him at Union? I can't remember if it was Union I saw him at or further north (like at College Park or something).

Now he does all that and gets stopped by cops... I do NONE of that and sometimes get stopped by cops.

You'd figure they'd have enough problems with people drinking yellow Listerine mouthwash and peein themselves on Queen and Bathurst eh?

Edit: They kicked him out of the CNE? THAT'S bad....

yea and those natives on yonge that go in to Shoppers Drug Mart to steal mouthwash for a cheap drunk. I haven't seen Zanta in a while. He apparently has a friend of mine on his MSN and while she was in Italy staying with my ex, he was doing pushups on webcam for them lol

Hahaha that's awesome.

Those natives are getting terribly refractory lately. I don't know what it is.

I was just surprised to find out he really is not on crack!

Interesting guy... Maybe the cops wouldn't harass him if he didn't stop traffic?

Still, if only they could display the same level of zeal and efficiency when dealing with real criminals...

If you want to see a real wacko, search for Remi Gaillard on YouTube. The guy dresses up as an athlete and does all sorts of stuff (sometimes funny, sometimes a bit stupid, but mostly ok). Anyone who's seen Rocky movies should check this one out: YouTube - ROCKY - REMI GAILLARD, he also likes to turn up at real sports events, only he doesn't simply rush into the field like others, take a look here: YouTube - REMI GAILLARD AS A SOCCER PLAYER IMPOSTOR. There are tons of others, and my personal favourites are YouTube - DECATHLON / BEIJING 2008 - REMI GAILLARD, YouTube - PUT IT WHERE YOU WANT IT - BEST OF REMI GAILLARD (the guy has some skill), YouTube - SUMO - REMI GAILLARD and YouTube - DISCO ELEVATOR - REMI GAILLARD.
