Although I have featured this masterpiece before I am doing so again. Why? Because although I am not a “Mac” person I think utilizing part of the aforementioned for a windshield is rather neat!

Williamsburg Photo Du Jour: LOST

Filed under: 11211, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn

Although I suspect this it yet another manifestation of the viral advertising that is plaguing north Brooklyn of late here it is. My advice: purchase some Rogaine already!

was covered on Fox News…just now made the front page of Yahoo! News no less.

as far as i know you were the first to cover this, correct? nice to see there are some fans of your blog @ Fox News, and that you’re doing their work for them.

Indeed. I take it was a slow news day, Rupert?

UPDATE, December 21, 2010 7:57 p.m.: it would appear Fox News’s video is quite popular.

224,629 319,610 539,111 page views and counting. Impressive. Where’s my cut of the revenue you undoubtedly gained as a result of this, my work, Fox News? Yahoo? Anyone?

P.S.: I can only hope Suzi Halpin is trotted out (once again) to explain this gaffe. E.g.;

The New York Post credits blogs, bloggers, and other media all the time, as our readers know.

New York Shitty Pay Phone Du Jour: Something Missing?

December 21, 2010 ·
Filed under: 11211, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn

Anyone in advertising will tell you that the placement of your message is integral to reaching your “target audience”. If this is indeed the case the one man (?) army who has seen fit to saturate Bedford Avenue with the above anti-circumcision polemics got it right with this pay phone (which is located at the corner of North 7 Street). Judging by the aroma which emanates from this communication device it is clearly the ad hoc urinal of choice hereabouts.

Miss Heather

P.S.: Nary a parking meter has missed this person’s attention.

From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: Diego Needs A Home!

Rebecca (who sent the above photographs) writes:

Diego was recently deposited at my house by his owner, who has been evicted from his home and is essentially homeless for an indeterminate period of time. As I’ve known Diego since he was a puppy, I would really like to find him a home before I just leave him at the ACC or
some avenue such as that. Diego is 1.5 years old, 110lbs, fixed, housetrained, crate trained, and adorable. He has an AMAZING temperament, even for a puppy. He was trained by a horse trainer, so walks incredibly well on a leash. It makes a big difference when 110lb dog knows not to pull! Attached is a YouTube video of him playing tug-o-war with my 9-year old pit/boxer mix, and some photos. He’s great with other dogs, and lets her be dominant and put him in his place. Any help that you can provide would be GREATLY appreciated. Diego deserves a good home, and not a short life. THANKS!!!
