Joseph Smarr Google Glass NYC Subway

Remember that picture of Google's co-founder, Sergey Brin on a New York City subway wearing grungy clothing with his prototype Google Glass worth $1,500 or more? Well, one of his employees thought it would be funny to impersonate the founder with a similar picture.

Joseph Smarr a Engineer at Google who works on Google+ (I believe), posed on a NYC subway just like Brin did. Fellow Googler, Gordon Sims posted the picture on Google+ for all to see.

Yes, I find this incredibly funny but I have a weird sense of humor.

Just for perspective, here is Brin in a similar shot:
