A crazy man may be videotaping YOUR crotch. And putting the footage on the internet for all to see! The Post, in what is (trend alert) almost surely another story developed solely by poking around on YouTube, alerts the city to a man known only as "househead7d5." He enjoys taping men's crotches—at a phone booth, on the bus, on the subway—and posting the videos online, with clever comments like, "guy on the phone showin a little......gay sweatpants bulge phonebooth NYC," or, even creepier, "I love it when they fall asleep! not the biggest basket but he was a cutie pie nonetheless!" So who is this penis-peering multimedia madman? After the jump, we will investigate!
The Post obviously doesn't know who househead7d5 is, identifying him only as a "27-year-old filmmaker." I looks like he has pulled all the videos down from his YouTube channel, probably yesterday or this morning—there are clips on there from as recently as one day ago.
Here's what we know about him, through our online detective work:
- He took "a recent trip to the Southfork Ranch from DALLAS."
- He used to work in LA, or is possibly bi-coastal.
- He has clips from an MIA show at Terminal 5 on 10/19/07
- And another clip from KUDU at Lotus in NYC
- His final posted clip, from yesterday, was entitled "Squirrel on crack."
Does this sound like anyone you know? If so, please email us straightaway. Together, we can stop illicit crotch-spying once and for all!

A saucy gay cameraman that writes like Jean Teasdale and you want to end this because....?
LOLcrotch
It actually sounds like just about everyone I know, coincidentally.
In my case, you will definitely need to press the "full screen" icon.
I believe this is an important public (pubic?) service. Cease and desist with your sexist views and let the show continue.
For some reason, it's even more pervy 'because' they have clothes on.
I think Nick Douglas needs an alibi, post-haste.
those crazy Googly Map kids
considering there are only about 6 people who take the bus in LA - this shouldn't be hard...
Before clicking on the jump, I silently prayed "please don't let this turn out to be my bf - I'll die if my name ends up in an Andrea Peyser column."
me likey looky crotchy
If the videos were of female cleavage, creeping g-strings, nice legs, short skirts, hogan (i.e., side boob), tramp stamps, and/or bubble butts, I may watch a few of them. Therefore, I'm going to allow this.
Who gave Pat Robertson a camera?
So would a 15-year-old with mirrors on his shoes be considered a documentarist?
@CaptainFantastic: A "Hogan"?
@BalknChain: Ha! You mean the Google Street View people who previously just photographed drug deals? Ha! again.
@CaptainFantastic: What about underboob, or 'neathage?
@CaptainFantastic: There was a guy in Brooklyn who stuck his phone up women's skirts as they went up the subway stairs and took panty photos and posted them online. They were very underwhelming unless Hanes cotton granny panties are your idea of a good time.
@MyCubeHas3Sides: Looking up "hogan" in the Urban Dictionary just now was a major ewwww!
@asketchymess: I live in constant fear of being one of those neck-down walking shots for obesity segments on Fox 5 News.
And we're all sure this isn't being done by a crazy woman?
@LilyWhiteTrash: Well plenty who take the bus in LA, but only about 6 who can afford a video camera.
Does anyone else ever pop those inexplicable, no-reason boners on the subway? It's horrible getting one of those while you're standing in front of a bunch of seated people. They're right at crotch-level and there's no way to inconspicuously adjust yourself. It's really embarrassing and uncomfortable.
...at least, I imagine it must be...if you get one...
@CaptainFantastic: Side boob is the best, along with bottom boob and bottom butt cheek.
For some reason it's all more sexy and provocative than your typical cleavage that we see every day. Maybe it has something to do with me being desensitized to cleavage to the point where it's nice, but I've seen it already.
Anyone remember a couple years ago when they found cameras in the subway grates along the sidewalk at 87th and Lex? Did they ever find out who put them there?
And more importantly, has anyone else experienced the micro-climate winds on that corner? Let me tell ya, the guy with the fruit stand there has seen my underwear with some frequency. Is this why he's started giving me free bananas?
@nightwatchman_flamekeeper: Thanks for the warning, I don't think I am up for any Eeewwww at this moment of the morning.

I have no problem with this.

@MyCubeHas3Sides: I don't know where I heard the term for "sideboob," but it's like the 13th definition on [www.urbandictionary.com] , after some weird ones that I've never heard.
@hamburgerhotdog: I have been lured into clicking on some of that mirror-on-the-shoe/camera-in-a-bag-on-the-floor stuff too, but it was always a big dissappointment and, I would hope, illegal. I was referring to shots of stuff I see and enjoy every day walking down the street, and mostly joking.
@FitnessMadeSimple: I knew a woman who used to do that intentionally. That is, she made a game out of staring at guys' crotches on the subway to see if she could give them boners and embarass them.
27-year old "filmmaker," huh? If all it takes to earn that label is aiming a camera phone at random crotches, who isn't a filmmaker?
@hamburgerhotdog: A guy in Brooklyn . . . and about a million guys elsewhere. There are tons of porn sites filled with nothing but upskirts - lots of the pics taken without consent (but hard to ID the victim, unless it was a particularly memorable pair of Hanes).
with my luck he'll catch me scratching. I cut out the pockets of my jeans for a reason.
So long as I remember not to sniff, I'll be ok.
I think he is the only person to watch his videos aside from that supersleuth at the Post of course.
It has to be Marc Jacobs, screening for his next boyfriend.
A friend of mine, using her family computer, once made the horrible discovery that her dad was a member of Yahoo's 'Down Blouse' group.
