This news is SO 2 days ago.
But I am obsessed with it. Why? Because, since when are rats in New York City news?
On a morning show (one out of many that spent a good chunk of time talking about this issue), they described the rats as galloping across the floor of the KFC/Taco Bell. I love galloping rats!
The ones that live in the tin ceiling above my bed gallop all night long and to quote Nathan, they also "scrabble". Then there are the mice. They are in the trash, on the counter, and elsewhere when they think no one's paying attention. One time Nathan was napping on the couch and he woke up and there was a mouse next to him feasting on a candy bar. These miniature beasts define the New York experience.
But hey, the dude that shot the footage made a cool $4000 by the end of the day according to the LA Times (they're reporting this news in LA!?!). There's a lesson here: rats don't cost money, they make money! God bless the USA.
