Uh-oh: At the same time that it was reported there were bed bugs at the Brooklyn DA's office, a memo from TBS's human resources department was sent out to staffers working out of the Time Warner Center in Manhattan about a situation there. TVNewser reprinted the memo, "The Time Warner Center Facilities Department advises that bed bugs have been detected in Time Warner Center. This determination was made after testing was conducted on several floors of the building."
A CNN spokesman also said, "The building management is addressing the issue and is taking immediate action." But the real question is whether the critters have migrated downstairs...to the shops and Whole Foods!! Maybe a bed bug beagle is needed for the building!
Previous bed bug sightings (note—not all of these are infestations) from this month and last: At the NY Public Library, Euro RSCG, Victoria's Secret, Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Kings County Hospital.
