Just days after a YouTube video surfaced showing a subway scuffle sparked by a spaghetti dinner, an MTA committee floated the idea of an all-out ban on train eating. The Daily News reports that board member Charles Moerdler said the MTA needs "to think about the availability of food products to passengers, who then discard some or all of it on the tracks, on the platform. They're the cause of rats. They're the cause of the fires. We have to do something to make it clear that the public has to wake up." WAKE UP, SHEEPLE, YOUR CHICKEN MCNUGGETS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE!

But it looks like that correction was not made, because early this morning the NYPD set up a speed trap at the bottom of a hill in Central Park and, using a radar gun, ticketed cyclists for speeding—in the early morning twilight, when the park is closed to traffic and largely used for exercise. ...

But he did not like it when host Robin Roberts wanted to ask about the 2009 incident where he beat his then-girlfriend Rihanna. TMZ reports, "After the interview, Brown freaked out, storming into his dressing room and screaming so loud, the people in hair and makeup became alarmed and called security... one source present tells us he smashed a window in his dressing room, and the glass shattered and some shards fell onto 43rd and Broadway. ABC security tells TMZ ... the window was shattered with a chair."... [ MORE ] |  | Meet Bloody Loco, one of the many colorful characters that make up this city. If you're lucky, maybe you'll run into him on the subway! Just make sure you recognize, ASAP, or else you'll become the co-star of both an improvisational piece of street theater, and a YouTube video. This all went down on the 7 train yesterday (Common Courtesy Day!). Some call it an epic intimidation fail...... [ MORE ] |  | A reader sent along this link to the EMS Facebook page, saying, "these photos pretty much sum up how so much of what made NYC unique is giving way to corporations. A big box store bragging on its FB page about 'harvesting' Brooklyn cobblestones to use in its window display." Well, EMS isn't really a "big box" store, but let's take a look anyway. The caption on the Facebook photos they posted read: "Cobblestones from Red Hook, BK... some being over 100 years old." They refer to digging them up (and leaving a massive pothole!) as "harvesting the cobblestone."...

[ MORE ] |  | That's right, the day has come when Miley Cyrus's decisions are affecting our legal system. Salvia—an herbal drug that, when smoked, can cause intense hallucinations—came into the American mainstream after a video of the pop-star smoking it appeared in December. A few weeks ago, a Roosevelt Island man jumped to his death after smoking it, which pushed Senator John Flanagan to introduce legislation banning the substance. Yesterday, the legislation passed the State Senate.... [ MORE ] |  | New York City (or a fake backdrop of it) makes a cameo in Rebecca Black's new video, so there you go, we can weigh in on it! First of all, for those of you wondering "Who the fuck is Rebecca Black?" please refer to this NME article titled "Who the fuck is Rebecca Black?" The 13-year-old's video for her song "Friday" recently went viral because it is the worst video ever made, ever. (The Hairpin calls it an "awk-fest.") You can watch the tweenage trainwreck below, and sing-a-long to lyrics like, "Today is Friday, Tomorrow is Saturday, And Sunday comes afterwards."... [ MORE ] | | |
