Auto-tweets are turned off right now, but CNN just sent out a Breaking News Alert staying simply: “New York’s Times Square evacuated.” What now???
UPDATE: “Times Square has been evacuated because of a suspicious package. Watch live: http://on.cnn.com/cnndcl1.”
“Suspicious packages” usually turn out to be nothing, but we’ll see.
P.S. LOL: “You have to wonder about the folks who are still standing in Times Square watching the story about Times Square being evacuated on the jumbotrons.”
UPDATE 2: Hahaha: “Suspicious cooler in Times Square held water bottles, NYPD says.”
TERRORIST water bottles, you mean! WHY DO THE WATER BOTTLES HATE US?!? We should waterboard them and find out. (Get it? Waterboard…) (I’m here all week, folks.)
Well considering how irrationally terrified they are of water bottles at airports, it doesn’t surprise me that they would freak out over them in Times Square too…
