We interrupt this week of reruns to bring the news that Manhattan was bombed last night--by
Jay Shells' newest urban etiquette signs.
all photos by Jason ShelowitzFrom Bleecker Street to Astor Place to Times Square, he's urging New Yorkers to "Pay Attention While Walking" (my favorite--can we get this on a T-shirt?) and "Don't Flick Your Butts on the Ground."

There's also "Pull Up Your Pants" and the mysterious "Clean Up After Your Horse." That last one, Jason told me, is not for the new landed gentry, as I assumed, but for "the nypd, who let their horses shit all over the place--usually bike lanes."
With all these helpful signs in place, the question is: Will New Yorkers pay attention? Or will they be too busy looking down at their iPhones?
