It doesn’t mean that much to me, I just don’t understand in general this site’s obsession with hating on the dumbest and smallest things. It makes literally no sense. And the reasons some of you come up with are so baseless in facts sometimes or so ignorant and silly that it just goes over my head. It’s the reason why the internet is such a nasty place in today’s era because everybody has an opinion and 9 times out of 10 is negative and mean and based on some fictional ‘I’m offended’ type feeling when it’s either dumb and unjustified that they feel that way or completely a reach because it has nothing to do with them. I wish ya’ll could just enjoy things more and let go of this constant negative mindset where you HAVE to find a problem with everything everybody is doing. It’s not helping you guys out, you deserve to feel better.

It’s strange to assume that people can’t really be annoyed by something just because you aren’t tbh. And if you don’t agree with someone’s comment you don’t have to go into manifestos.

I watched it and imo it is just a comedy skit.  No traffic was held up.  I found it fun to watch.  I'm not a BTS fan or a James Corden fan, but you don't have to be to enjoy the comedy.

Im sorry you feel that way. However Im looking at it from my point of view. Yes we all know how to have fun. However whether we like it or not, we have busy lives, work, things we need to get to. So shutting dow streets for performances like this is just a waste of time. It wasn't the time or place. Im not hating on BTS, more on Cordon's idea of comedy. yes they SHOWED the people having fun, doesnt mean everyone behind them were having fun.

if this was even real. 

But they didn’t shut down the streets... that’s the whole point... it was during the red light while people SIT and wait anyway... it crazy to me how people read and hear just what they want to hear and not what people actually say. That was the whole point I was making before, in my previous comment, that ya’ll are having a meltdown over what DIDN’T even happen, making your whole annoyance and complain with the situation irrelevant, because it doesn’t apply to what actually happened...

But that’s the whole point, you are annoyed over what didn’t even happen, making it very much irrelevant. They did not hold up traffic like up complain about, so why are you annoyed? The ones getting into manifestos are you guys when, as I said before, become annoyed/offended/pissed off over stuff that you should be in the first place.

okay

(1) who's having a meltdown? I posted my opinion and you decided to quote me. 

(2) they RUSHED to get their "sets" off the streets during the yellow lights form the other side of the street. I get that. Having the band members and other crew run around like chickens without their . Whether we like it or not, they most likely held up traffic, started dancing between the cars, etc. They created a dangerous environment and delayed traffic when they didn't need to do so. They can edit it any way they want, but my statement still stands. 

Sorry but this type of marketing is tacky and over the top for no reason in my opinion. I would be making the same comments whether it was Gaga or anyone else i actually enjoy. 

I dont under understand why you are trying to say anyone else's opinion like @CooterFritter and mine are "irrelevant" - its a forum, no reason to have a meltdown yourself.

I am not having a meltdown, but you trying to defend an opinion that is groundless in facts is ridiculous to me. They cannot hold up traffic even if they want to, that would be illegal. Unless they rented out the area in which case why is that a problem? Its done for movies all the time and it takes days to shoot not a few hours. Do you complain then too? No, cause you enjoy watching movies. So apply the same energy to that too in case that scenario doesn’t bother you. Filming in public spaces happens all the time. Rushing things doesn’t mean they didn’t get it done properly. Dangerous how? Do you think they worked with random people or an entire team of experts that work on filming sites or have experience in making content like this? And do you think rehearsals didn’t happen for this? This is the ridiculous part to me and the reason why I keep replying to you, because the obvious is there but you choose to still be mad about something that didn’t happen. But whatever, I am done commenting on this because I keep repeating myself. Also, having a debate or coming with a contrary argument to somebody’s comment doesn’t mean one is mad or upset if that’s the point you’re trying to make at nr.1 about me engaging further in this conversation. We can be mature adults and have a conversation about obviously something not that serious and not take it personally. I am not, I would hope you aren’t as well.

Apparently, the production team learned from the backlash last time and this one was staged. I hope that's true.

[MonsterofFame 1,786]

This had to be staged. No way it would be legal otherwise.

[DavidJP 737]

Imagine you are in an ambulance and this happens? im sure they hear sirens and get out of the road and wait, but still.....

After both performances, they were still in the street when the light had turned green. 4:38 and 6:48 in the video you can see the green light in the same shots as them running off. Unless the entire road was blocked off and all the cars were part of the production as they are in films, and this whole thing was staged, they did slow traffic, even if it was less than a minute. 

And because LA has nightmarish traffic to begin with, even the suggestion of some dumb stunt like this making traffic worse is enough to piss a lot of people off, as you can clearly see on the onlookers faces.

As far as being illegal, many things are shot guerrilla style and this may have been. IE, without legal permit. If the road was not closed I doubt they could obtain such a permit, but I'm not an expert. 

[LadyEnigma 1,322]

y’all talking about red lights like people don’t turn right on red, my ass does that everyday to get to work on time ( i’m sure it’s staged tho…hopefully)

[Franch Toast 27,303]

James has done with numerous times before, including with casts of various musicals. Some people like it, some people don't. I'm less concerned about traffic possibly being held up a few seconds by them still being the crosswalk during a green light than I am about the performers getting hurt, but I assume they have some sort of safeguards in place. 

Trying to make the best of things, think of how happy BTS fans must've been to stumble upon this during their commute.

Y'all wouldnt be this mad if its your favorite pop girl doing it. (No im not talking about camila) 

[RAMROD 111,643]

I would honk so hard so they can't filmed it until they let me thru. And I know for sure lots other will follow, cos LA traffic is not joke, and we do not want random annoying hold up like this.
