So this ad is from animalalliancenyc.org and is about having room for a homeless pet – or rather thinking about whether a pet is something you leave along with the rest of the history you leave behind when you move. I interpret the cat on top of the car in two ways.
1) If you leave your pet behind, they don’t forget you. They’d rather ride on top of the car than be left behind
2) Make space for the kitty, it fits comfortably in the back seat.
Remy Martin has a way with women and nightlife, but it appears people don’t agree with Remy’s perspective. Apparently the chain connecting these two women wasn’t enough.

Things are getting interesting

Chinese New Year – the year of the Tiger. It fell on a Sunday on Valentines Day on President’s Day weekend. What a confluence of factors!
During the day walking down Bayard street in Manhattan’s Chinatown. It was packed and the sky and streets were filled with hand operated confetti cannons. $10 per cannon (I have no doubt I was overcharged) for about a 1 second of celebration. May everyone grab the tiger by the tail this year.
I live near a police station in Hell’s Kitchen. On the weekends The City gets flooded with traffic – people going to clubs, out all night in the city, living the dream. The only problem with driving in the city is it’s packed, bumper to bumper on weekends. You’re getting nowhere, fast. Weekends in The City is generally amateur night and that includes drivers.
Someone thought they could beat NYC traffic and totaled their car. Not kind of sort of totaled, but both passenger and driver side airbags, car rolled over, windshield blown out, f’ked on Mars up kind of totaled.
This is a Chrysler 300 something.

Alvin Ailey – one of the most legendary dance companies on the face of the planet is promoting its latest performance shows a dancer captured in a beautiful aerial movement shows his backside and pffft…blastoff.
Clearly the person making this commentary is not a connoisseur of dance. What breeds this kind of humor (of course this being NYC, the assumption is that this has been initiated by an adult)? Jealousy of the stunning, fit body? Was it a woman or man making this statement in a drunken 3AM stupor waiting for the train, or is an obvious joke just a joke and was everyone else thinking the same thing, but just too PC to articulate it?
H&M sweater ad. The paper poster had torn X’s for eyes. Materialism, albeit $29.95 materialism – shopper angst toward the holiday shopping season?
Healthy bodies? There are some strong feelings about what a healthy body should look like. Sexist? Objectified?
So we’ve all seen the Seinfeld Soup Nazi episode where Elaine can’t make a decision about the soup and get’s kicked out. This is the place that inspired it.
Unfortunately, the place has closed down. After the notoriety from the TV show as The Soup Nazi, the guy cashed out!
The rules are hysterical – true New York City attitude captured in a few words. Make a decision when you number comes up, he who hesitates is, well – yelled at.

Follow the rules or get kicked out!
I was in my favorite bubble tea shop in Chinatown and one of the gals was wearing a very fashion forward silver hat. Coca-Cola Chocolate? It struck me that this may be purely for fashion combining brand assets for strictly visual appeal. On the other hand, this could be a legitimate product.

Sometimes you find little gems of artistic humor. I found a Father Christmas just hanging out in Soho on the sidewalk.
