Hony Effect

The Hony Effect is when people get emotionally attached to one of the photos & captions on the Humans of New York page on facebook. Essentially everyone is a star, an artist, a musician, destitute and needs your help. Everyone will feel sympathy for whoever is in the photo because it is HONY and only because it is HONY.

"He is so talented!"
"He should have his own album!"
"I found him on youtube!"
"Oh shit... here comes the Hony Effect..."
