Panda Alert: Times Square
stereogum has possibly the biggest scoop of the year...well, maybe only to Gothamist, but still: A panda crosses the street in Times Square. While documenting the rise of the adorable black-and-white furry mammal's buzz, stereogum writes:
I saw a panda hail a cab in Times Square this afternoon. Thank god I have a camera phone otherwise you wouldn't believe me. The panda was holding a briefcase. I think he works at Conde Nast.
Well, if Conde Nast is cool and allows him to sleep for 18 hours of the day, then yes, the panda works there. [Via whatevs]
Another Times Square things: TRL, Good Morning America, The Naked Cowboy.

pleased to have alerted you to the hottness.
This is only news because it happened in NYC. I heard that in Guangzhou nobody bats an eye when a panda hails a cab.
I saw the Panda too... in front of Grand Central. I think he was an actor. (The signs declaring that they were filming the scene kind of clued me in.)
Uncle G, thank you mostest.
And while the guy might have been an actor, trust me, we'll be seeing more of them around.
DEAR GOD! IT IS THE FURRIES RUN! SAVE YOURSELF!
Don't make me come down there, Chung.
The glaringly obvious question is:
Why did the panda cross the road?
heh heh. i love this shot. it reminds me of that famous bigfoot photo.
