Mark Malkoff Covers Himself With Pigeons In Amsterdam's Dam Square (VIDEO)

Amsterdam's Dam Square is famous for several reasons--it's the site of the city's original dam, it's home to the Royal Palace and Madame Tussauds--but perhaps its most tourist-friendly (read: for silly people) attraction is the abundance of pigeons that line the square.

Comedian Mark Malkoff decided to take it upon himself to be one with the pigeons and lie down in the square, becoming completely covered by the birds and all their glory. Tourists flocked (pun intended) around him to watch the display.

Consider this a what-not-to-do in Amsterdam.

Check out the video he created below.

Getting bugs from birds can be funny? Odd humor.

I appreciate being told he is a comedian. Otherwise, I would not have known.

That is disgusting considering how many diseases and parasites pigeons carry.

At least he was smart enough to keep his mouth shut.

Attention seekers with a camera play with disease ridden and lice covered birds for internet short. Think the news here is how this became news? :)

I thought that was Eric Cantor being attacked by flying rats.

Not funny, but it's a great way to get a nasty disease.
