First let me say that this is not what this video is about (good intro sentence), but there is an exhibition going on for a few more weeks at the New Museum in New York City where you get to slide down a really long slide. Basically. There are other things about the exhibition too, which is called “Carsten Höller: Experience,” like you get to take off all of your clothes and float in water and like look into a fish bowl, but really the main thing is that you get to slide down a slide that goes through three floors of the museum and you have to wait in line for like two hours to do it because you went on a weekend and didn’t think about how other people would be interested in sliding down a slide, and you really thought for some reason that you’d be able to just walk in and go down the slide, but whatever, in any case, ART. But one thing that they don’t tell you about this slide is IT IS TERRIFYING!!!! And you will scream on the way down and actually get a little hurt and lose your cell phone. So, my point is: Slides are scary? Don’t go on them. Especially don’t wait in line for a billion hours to do it. And do watch out for the one in the basement of the Taipei Grand Hotel, which IS the slide in this video. As you will see, it’s going to be rougher than you’ll originally think it will be. When you’re filming a spot for your news show.

Awwwww, lady! I’m sure you’re probably pretty embarrassed about this but, please, don’t be. I’m sure it was terrifying! Even though it looked pretty normal! And you were aware that you were being recorded for television! I’m so sorry about the way you scream!!!! (Via BuzzFeed.)

  1. Yikes. Did somebody chute her?

  2. I thought the door was a real window. I’d be the worst reporter.

  3. Was that even English?

  4. this slide is why Brad Pitt needs a cane.

  5. Really surprising that she wasn’t more prepared, given how professional this video quality is.

  6. Give her a break, you guys. She was really brave for at least the first 3 or 4 feet.

  7. Do it again, this time with Werner Herzog.

  8. I guess her screams are better than the Atlanta grape lady, and by better I mean less funny.

  9. Are we sure that “WaaheeaaaeeeaWaWaWaWaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa” isn’t just Taiwanese for “wheeee!”?

  10. This reminds me of the time I got caught trying to smuggle a Chihuahua under my coat into Chuck E. Cheese’s.

  11. that is the most animated Taiwanese news report I’ve seen in a while.

  12. Life is so lonely .I am a sexy and single model at present .I need a man who can love me back . I also uploaded my hot photos on richsingleclub.C//o//m under the name of single, CERTIFIED INCOME)..Every single is welcome .If u are sincerely ,please contact me there.

  13. work would be so much cooler if I didn’t have to wait for the elevator at the end of the day and could just slide down 9 flights of stairs.

  14. i’m just sad that the holler retrospective didn’t include any of his exhibits where the viewer is required to take narcotics before entering. would’ve made that line a whole lot better.
