The best part about the Internet is that people can get their spoofs and parodies instantaneously - instead of waiting for late night talk shows, Saturday Night Live or The Daily Show. Neil made this NYC Olympic big logo spoof for us (right), and New Yorkish shows the true NYC icons are drunk, homeless men. Of course, this probably won't sit well with the NYC 2012 committee or past and current Mayors, Police Commissioners, etc., but, people, these are PARODIES. Sometimes, just sometimes, it's okay to laugh. In the meantime, Gothamist will brace for the irate comments.
