Brit Fit

Mike Spence -

Have you ever overheard people in the next room getting some while you lay there alone in your cold, baron bed? It's happened to the best of us. Usually the reaction is a pair of headphones, a polite bang on the wall or perhaps a passive-aggressive note taped to the offender’s door. How does a filing for a noise abatement order to legally stop your neighbors from ever ''shouting, screaming or (making a) vocalization at such a level as to be a statutory nuisance” sound? One British couple is facing the possibility of arrest if they should get too passionate in their own bedroom.

Bloomberg Sours on Flavored Tobacco

Rebecca Huval -

Take a long drag of your Warm Mocha Mint Cigar - it might be the last you buy in the city. Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed the ban on flavored tobacco into law yesterday. But before you hyperventilate, read the fine print: the ban doesn’t include clove or menthol cigarettes or even flavored hookah.

Naked Lunch (or Breakfast)

Mike Spence -

So a guy wakes up in the morning, gets out of bed, and maybe brushes his teeth before going downstairs to make himself a cup of coffee. Sounds like a regular, uneventful morning—except for the fact that this guy happens to do his morning routine naked. Whatever, what you do in your own home is your own business, right? Apparently not in Springfield, VA, where the man in question was arrested because someone happened to see him through his window.

This Piggy Bank is a Pipe Bomb

Jordan Galloway -

What kind of a world do we live in where a man can't sit on his stoop with fake sticks of dynamite without getting arrested, especially when all said man wants to do is turn them into a piggy bank?

1Oak Tells Neighbors It Ain't No Punching Bag

Jordan Galloway -
Neighborhood warriors are flexing their muscles and voicing their frustrations with the influx of nightlife hotspots they see as pure nuisances. Recently several have successfully silenced their sleep competition and forced bars to change their hard-partying ways—do the Jane Hotel and Hotel Le Bleu ring any bells? But in the face of all this unneighborly hostility, one bar owner took a stand in a reversal of roles that has some residential neighbors of bar 1Oak on the wrong side of a $2 million lawsuit.

Pretty Baby Put Your Clothes Back On!

Jordan Galloway -

When I saw Brooke Shields on the streets of Soho last weekend, she was fully clothed. In fact, the only thing she was exposing was her pretty Colgate smile. Apparently, to see a little less teeth and a little more skin from the actress, you have to go to the Tate Modern, or at least that was the case before the gallery threw some proverbial clothes on the girl and yanked her naked photo from their exhibit. Now this is not a case of discriminating against a forty-something woman getting naked...it's a little more legal than that. The photo in question was of a naked Shields at 10 years old!

Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em, Soon You Won't Be Able To

Editors -
The mayor is continuing his crusade to ban smoking in parks and on beachs—but how long will the folks who live alongside city parks put up with smokers standing across from or outside of their buildings to get a fix? Then what? [via Daily News]
