Bedbug Rumors: Atlantic Center Target (Duh)

I know bedbugs have nothing to do with being clean and shit, but DAYM this one is kinda easy to believe: there are some rumors floating around that the towel dept at the Atlantic Center Mall Target was infested with bb's.

Gothamist attempted to find some proof to back up these allegations, and yeah: they found nada. Still, the thought of this is pretty grody to the max. Even more grody to the max than that store itself, which is kinda saying a lot.

The Pavilion Movie Theater Has Officially Been Nominated As the Nastiest & Most Disgusting Theater in Brooklyn...And Won

Honestly, who the hell cares if the Pavilion has bedbugs anymore. I'd be more concerned about picking up some flesh eating virus...or THE MOTHERFUCKING PLAGUE.

These fine photos were taken by Brooklynian member SlipperySlope in Theater 5, and I think we can all agree that they are hardcore vom inducing.

ATTN ALL MOVIE THEATER OWNERS EVERYWHERE: if you have ever, even for one hot minute, considered NOT getting black seats in your movie theater, please look at these photos immediately and then go punch yourself in the face.

Somebody is my fucking hero and I want to get their autograph.

This picture has been floating around facebook and email since noon yesterday. Apparently some disgruntled employee changing the marquis at the Pavilion Movie Theater put up "bed bugs," and then quit or was shit-canned.

If this story is true, this Pavilion employee makes the Jet Blue steward look like Dwight Muthafuckin Schrute.  

I left work EARLY just to see if I could get more flicks of this and ask questions - but by the time I got there, it was already gone, and the ticket clerk got red as soon as I said "bedbugs."  

"No, I'm sorry, the manager busy." 

LEAVE YOUR JOB / END YOUR LIFE: BED BUGS IN SLOPE SUBZ

OMG OMG OMG OMGGGGGG! Bed bugs have invaded the F station at 9th Street and shit was declared an EMERGENCY!

The station agents spotted one crawling around their booth, blew their wads, rang the emergency button and GTFO like it was their job. Agent Norman Pou says, “I lost my mind. Where there’s one, there’s two; when there’s two, there’s more. There’s always a whole group of them.” Hellz yeah, Norman.

Let me break down the past month and a half for you. First, I thought I had scabies. YES, scabies. Then, I got MOTHER FUCKING LICE from my kid. When the dermatologist told me, I started sobbing and tried to
hug him. I spent all night over the toilet trying not to throw up from thinking about bugs RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT crawling all over my head. Dermderm was all: at least its not bed bugs. I was all: for real, if I
had bed bugs, I would require you to immediately lethally inject me.

So, Norman, I feel you. At this point, I am willing to re-plan my whole route to work to avoid these fuckers.

Apparently, the booth has been fumigated and reopened, but I bet Norm isn’t working there anymore.

Norah Jones May Or May Not Have Bedbugs

image via Curbed NYOk fine: it was getting a little "all bedbugs all the time" up in here for awhile, but this one was just doo damn juicy to ignore.

Apparently there is lil ole bedbug problem on the street in Cobble Hill where Norah Jones lives, and her friendly neighbors are more than happy to just place blame for the whole friggin thing on her. Oh, also, apparently there IS an upside to getting your place infested and bedbuggy after all!

"Danielle Gelfand takes the contrarian view in New York Press, arguing that bed bugs actually did good things for her building because they allowed her to finally bond with the neighbors she hadn't spoken to in 10 years. One way they bonded: by blaming someone else for the bug problem. Namely, Norah Jones: 'As the meeting started, a huge truck pulled up outside. For a moment, I got excited, thinking, Maybe it’s some sort of hazmat-style bug elimination team! But then I realized it was ABC Carpet and Home, delivering Norah Jones’ (who lives nearby) new furniture.'"

I have no clue if any of this shit is true, but I bet if Norah let the neighbors swim in her inground pool, they'd be willing to let this WHOLE thing go.
