I could really use a panda to punch right now

Do the holidays have you stressed (my answer would be "Dear God, yes!")? Do you sometimes wish you could punch a panda? Then you're a horrible person. I can meet you halfway though, and let you punch Nate Hill of Brooklyn NY. He dresses as a panda and allows people to punch him. He calls it Punch Me Panda. Here's how he describes it:


"Do you ever get so mad that you want to punch something? I'm here for you. My name is Punch Me Panda. Kidnapped from my family in China, I got mailed to the Bronx Zoo. Luckily, my crate got lost in the mail, and I ended up here in Brooklyn. I wandered around the city awhile and ended up living on the street. I noticed that New York City, though wonderful, can sometimes get people down. Things happen here, and they're not always good."


How hipster is that? Very. How awesome is that? Also, very. Here are a bunch of photos from My Modern Met.
