How To Draw 40,000 To Citi Field?

A hint — it has nothing to do with the Mets:

A mass rally for men only drew more than 40,000 ultra-Orthodox Jews to Citi Field Sunday to denounce the Internet and its pervasive impact on family life.

An overflow crowd of another 20,000 bearded men sporting long black coats and big black hats filled nearby Arthur Ashe Stadium for the unprecedented attack on modern technology.

With A Name Like This . . .

. . . bootleg rat poison has to be good:

Ten Chinatown store owners were busted for selling illegal super-concentrated rat poison Monday after a woman nearly died from drinking a small bottle labeled “The Cat Be Unemployed.”

Aw, FML . . .

A great coincidence:

Subway signs recently updated to reflect the June 28 removal of the V and W lines are as bold in color as the previous signs, but some are much bolder in message, like the ones at 14th Street and Sixth Avenue, which spell “FML” with subway symbols.

Did not last long:

New York City Transit will change a set of subway signs that inadvertently resembled a vaguely profane Internet meme.

Labels for the F, M and L subway lines, which intersect at 14th Street and Sixth Avenue, will be re-arranged so that they appear on two different lines, transit officials said on Monday afternoon.

Funny Like “Ha-Ha” Funny?

Or funny as in, ha ha your mayor is kind of like a cross between Hugo Chavez and Silvio Berlusconi funny (video at link):

On the heels of much speculation about an endorsement, Obama put Michael Bloomberg in his speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner last night.

At about the 11:30 mark Obama says, “In the next hundred days, I will meet with a leader who rules over millions, with an iron fist. Who owns the airwaves and uses his power to crush all who would challenge his authority at the ballot box. It’s good to see you, Mayor Bloomberg.”

The camera cuts away to a shot of Bloomberg laughing, Diana Taylor applauding, and reporter Al Hunt looking amused.

At The Risk Of Encouraging People To Continue To Write Letters To The Editor . . .

. . . this one was funny:

It is amusing that Andrew M. Cuomo, who owes his whole career to his dad, may not get the Senate seat of Hillary Rodham Clinton (who owes her whole career to her husband) because David A. Paterson (who owes his whole career to his dad) may give it to Caroline Kennedy (who owes her whole career to her dad).

As Liza and Frank once sang, “If you can make it here, you’re likely someone’s heir” . . .
