He's such a freak.... This story is old, but first I've seen it. It's bizarro world.


We Interviewed the Guy Who Made Eric Adams’ Bizarre ‘Contraband’ Video

One day in 2011, back when New York City mayoral hopeful Eric Adams was a state senator, he decided to make a video he felt was of critical importance to his constituents. The subject: how to search your own home for “contraband”—guns, drugs, and other illicit paraphernalia—that your children may have hidden around the house. He enlisted a staffer to help source the props and filmed the spot the very next day, shooting it at his apartment in Brooklyn in one take, without a script. Within a week, he had it uploaded to YouTube.

The video, which resurfaced on Twitter this week, is incredibly bizarre. In it, Adams explains how an innocent-looking jewelry box might actually conceal a firearm, pulling a remarkably tiny gun out of such a box and waving it at the camera to prove his point. He rummages through a backpack—which he calls a “popular knapsack with many different locations,” for some reason—and reveals a “used crack pipe,” squirreled away in a pocket. Seemingly every corner of Adams’ apartment turns out to be a hiding spot for something sinister: Behind a bookshelf, there’s a giant bag of fake cocaine; behind a picture frame, there are bullets; inside of a doll, there’s a sack of what looks like weed; inside of a pillow, another gun.

The video was filmed by Matthew Kulvicki, who worked as the Director of Production for the New York State Senate at the time. According to Kulvicki, Adams gave him virtually no time to prepare. Instead, he just told Kulvicki to show up at his apartment ready to shoot.

“He knew exactly what he wanted to do and how he wanted to do it,” Kulvicki told VICE. “Then he said, ‘I'm ready.’ Then I hit record.”

1. So it sounds like he doesn't trust his kids at all, which means his kids don't trust him either.

My parents would never have done anything like that, because they trusted us. They would just look us in the eye and ask us, and we couldn’t lie. I don’t know what kind of parenting Adams is into. Makes me wonder about his character.
