It turns out Thinkmodo can thrill people, not just scare them.

The viral marketing agency, best known for its frighteningly good Carrie and Devil's Due prank videos, takes a refreshingly different approach with its latest video. It shows a petite traffic cop in New York City arguing with a cab driver—and then, in an apparent act of savage anger, lifting his vehicle clear off the ground.

It is, of course, a prank—though plenty of people in the vicinity were gobsmacked by the chain of events.
