The clip, which appears to have been filmed on a phone, a toaster, and possibly a particularly optimistic seagull, shows a potted palm being wheeled through Vice City while wearing a knitted cardigan that seems to have its own agenda.
Observers say the plant pauses outside several landmarks, leaning gently in the breeze as if deciding whether to approve of them. At one point it is seen next to a civic noticeboard, where it allegedly stares at a poster in a way best described as ‘deeply municipal’.
Naturally, the internet has decided this means the palm will now serve as Vice City’s moral compass, calming rowdy neighbourhoods by rustling disapprovingly at anyone near a loud scooter. This has not been confirmed by anyone sensible or otherwise.
The cardigan, meanwhile, has been praised for its ‘quiet authority’ and ‘surprisingly stern elbow patches’. One onlooker claimed the ensemble gives off ‘the energy of a headteacher who has just seen your trainers’.
As ever, all of this may simply be a decorative shrub having a normal day in a city that does not know how to behave. Still, if the palm does get the job, residents are advised to speak politely and avoid asking it for fiscal advice.
