Mannequins are disturbing enough, but do we really need to give them size D breasts?

Random Halloween Shit

• If you’re stuck in a crush at the Halloween parade, a good way to escape is to elbow your way to the front and scooch under the police barrier. When the cop stops you and says, “Where do you think you’re going?” Exclaim, “We need to get out of here, it’s a medical emergency.” This really happened to us just a few hours ago. And dude in the suit who refused to move his arm, saying, “Hey man, I don’t know you,” nearly preventing our girlfriend from getting through, if we ever see you again, we’re punching your lights out.

Time Warner Won’t Fix Connection Broken For Years

The horror of Time Warner Cable NYC is legion, a textbook example of monopolies abusing consumers customers.

Another fine example of people using their cars as anti-corporate billboards. What really makes this one, however, is what the owner decided to park his car in front of.

Improv Everywhere Invades Home Depot

Softcore agit prop group Improv Everywhere sent 255 people to Home Depot in Manhattan to shop very slowly for five minutes.

Whorehouse Gives Great Customer Service

Sometimes stories of wonderful care for the customer shows up in the oddest places, like a massage parlor on the Lower East Side.

Other Music Through the Exploding Looking Glass

If you’ve never been to Other Music in New York you may not appreciate this as much but OM is an awesome lil music store at East 4th and Lafayette. Contrary to what this video might have you believe, the people are actually super friendly and helpful. There is a certain elitist air but that’s because they know their shit and they know they know it.

Apartment ‘Painted’ With 100 Gallons

Rent-stabilized apartments in New York are the bane of their landlords, gnashing their teeth like the rats they unleash to drive out unwanted tenants.

Peeping Tom on 5th Ave Shop Windows

As promised, the results of our Tuesday stroll down 5th avenue, peeking inside all the windows and seeing what we could see. Not all stores are represented in this set; frankly, we found many of the displays tired and staid. Here’s a few things that caught our eye, in a magic Flickr gallery.

Everything Must Go

Everything Must Go

We thought there was something a little perfect about this picture we took on Tuesday of a shopkeep lording over his bronze lions and 50% off all NY souvenirs.
