Stroke of Bad Luck for Subway Rider
Sunday August 28, Paris. From our New York Correspondent (Actually I nicked it from boingboing)
Subway Hold-UpUsually I don't do a stroke of work around here on the weekend. But something came up and I feel I need to tell you about is as a public service.
Normally I don't take stories from other blogs but I have to make an exception here. It's too big. I found the story on today's http://www.boingboing.net So maybe you've already seen it. (There's also a truly great piece on Japanese Porn Products. See " Vag-in-a-Can".)
A 22 year old New York City girl was riding the Manhattan Subway last week when a middle-aged, blond-haired bloke dressed in black shirt and jeans sat down opposite her. She noticed he was staring hard but she tried to ignore him. The next thing she knew Blondie has begun to stroke himself and then....
Yeah he pulled it out and spanked the monkey.
But Wait! There's more....
Our intrepid nonplussed lass, pulled her cameraphone out and snapped off a shot of the wanker.
And then....
She gave a copy to the cops, didn't she.
And not content with that...
She decided to go one step further....so she...
Posted Blondie's photo on Flickr and Craigslist websites and bloggers began linking to her site.
By last night 45,000 people had seen the piccie. What a gal!
It's not over yet folks!
Pretty soon it made the Front Page of the Daily News.

Hold the Front Page! I think our blond friend has been well and truly outed, don't you?

Hot off the press. Monday August 29
Nearly two dozen people have phoned the Daily News and the NYPD to say they believe Dan Hoyt, co-owner of raw-food restaurants Quintessence, is the man whose photo appeared on the cover of the paper. Hoyt owns two restaurants, one on E. 10 St. in the East Village and the other on Amsterdam Ave., and is well known in the raw-food racket, which calls for serving uncooked food. The report doesn't mention if they serve raw meat.
Two other women who saw the picture - which was also posted on the Internet - have come forward to say "That's him Officer - that's the dirty dude who waved his wing-wang in my face - he should be castrated!"
(I made the quote up. I had to spice it up a bit. What she really said was "When it happened to me I was in shock. It's a violation of my space and my sense of safety. It angered me to think he could get away with it." The other lady said, "I just wanted to forget about the whole thing.")
I don't think Danny Boy's going to be forgetting about it. The cops have phoned and asked him to come in.
