This morning, the internet was graced with a creepily silent video of a black bird repeatedly attacking unsuspecting people on the same stretch of sidewalk. Now, just hours later, The Awl’s David Cho has added to the creepiness by setting it to music evoking the ennui and loneliness of modern life, or something:
OMG, that bird represents mortality! It’s an omen of death! I would have gone with “Had A Bad Day,” except that it would put that horrible song in people’s heads. (Sorry if I just put that horrible song in your head.)

I was going to say this is the world’s cheapest remake of The Birds, but I guess you beat me to it.
