Vox Pop on CNN
CNN's Campbell Brown show sent a camera crew over to Ditmas Park Wednesday morning to get the scoop on Vox Pop's much blogged about communal capitalism model. They talked to Debi Ryan, Sander Hicks, and a local family that invested $1,000 in the Cortelyou coffee shop.
One funny thing- when the segment aired on CNN last night the news ticker at the bottom of the screen (the one that shows unrelated news bites) flashed "Statue of Liberty replica decapitated on YouTube." Kind of neat that two separate stories about our little neighborhood hangout spot have made national news in the same week.
Check out the full segment below:

We noticed the same thing. It's slightly disturbing that CNN didn't connect the two stories in some way, as if one hand doesn't know what the other one is doing.
lets see here, a shop thats on the verge of shutting down cuz they have no money finds a way to stay afloat. Now, they must a find way to make the shop more known. How about making up a crazy video about ur statue being stolen and beheaded and then sending it to a major media outlet.
sure seems fishy to me
Wow, Anonymous, that's a very interesting take on things. I'm not sure I agree 100%, but it's certainly a possibility that I for one never thought of!
Sure, there will be allegations against Vox Pop, and oh so ironic, that there be rumors that the conspiracy cafe did an "inside job" and desecrated their own Statue of Liberty statue. You obviously don't know the integrity of Vox Pop's people. Or that the word on the street is that an eyewitness called 9-1-1 when the statue was being originally pilfered, and the cops did nothing, after two calls. Huh. Someone is targetting Vox Pop.
Are you satisfied, Debbie? Your hoax made national news! Congrats!
The horror Anonymous... how dare you suggest such a thing. We can all *think* it, but you shouldn't say it out loud. How common.
