Hundreds gather in Millennium Park to try to push "The Bean" seven inches

Hundreds of people gathered in downtown Chicago Sunday to try to push the Bean seven inches to the left.
The crowds gathered in Millennium Park Sunday afternoon as part of what began as a viral social media event. Then flyers started popping up downtown.
The plan was simple: Push Chicago's famous Bean (officially a statue named Cloud Gate by Anish Kapoor) seven inches to the left.
But why?
Well, internet folklore has long claimed there's a man stuck inside the Bean. Organizers of the event said moving it would free him.
To no surprise, the group was not able to move the 110 ton stainless steel sculpture.
The origin of the "man in the bean" internet rumors are hazy, but the satirical claim was enough to spark protests in the Loop in 2025 in front of the statue, and even got a response from Gov. JB Pritzker. A mockumentary called "Man in the Bean" was released on YouTube earlier this year.

So they were all trying to flick the bean?

Another example of people believing absolutely anything if it appeals to their emotions. You can’t tell me that the crowd doesn’t have at least a few people in it who understand that if there was anyone trapped in the Bean, they would have long since been dead.

First push? That bean has been pushed before I assure you.

Anybody who participated for this reason needs to be poisoned and removed from the gene pool immediately.

Nah, my statement would be a huge oversimplification in explaining religions. It’s obviously your choice not to believe, but that comparison falls flat.

I don't understand how they thought this would go. Only like 20 people were able to even get their hand on the end of that thing to push. Were they expecting hundreds of people to slam into each other mosh pit style to put any kind of pressure on it?

They all voted blue, and have no idea why.

It's too bad they actually didn't move it. I wanted to see it roll over and crush a shite ton of them.

It is connected to the ground they are standing on.
I'm sure there were a few people who thought it would move because they weren't aware of the orgin of why jt started.
The fact it couldn't be moved was well covered which is why the event started.

But what if there is and what if he’s not?

One, continuous “tush push” with the crushed pushed aside only to be replaced by those directly behind them, who, in turn, would also be crushed would have been something to behold.

They accomplished absolutely nothing, yet I’m sure they felt very good about themselves.
Typical retard leftist behavior.

People rally around the stupidest stuff.

I have to believe they knew nobody was in there and that they wouldn’t be able to move it but it was just something goofy for them to do. Just an outing for fun. I have to believe that.
