Mark Malkoff has already hit up 171 Starbucks in one day, lived in an IKEA... and now he's projected his latest project onto the YouTube screen: getting carried through Manhattan. He tells us the project helps disprove the myth that New York is unfriendly, as he managed to get carried 9.4 miles on stranger's backs, from the Staten Island Ferry to 141st St & Broadway. But when you have a camera and microphone... people might be more willing to help out. All in all, 155 people made it happen—and during his trip, some theater kids even sang him that Ke$ha song.

Just one of many ways to avoid rising MTA fares.
