Bring back the DDT, that will get rid of the little monsters

//NEW YORK (AFP) - The city that never sleeps? Tell that to New York's bedbugs. The tiny blood suckers specialize in feeding off sleeping bodies and this summer in the Big Apple they're enjoying the pickings of their lives, specialists say.

After infesting unprecedented numbers of apartments and offices, the pests have branched out, raiding clothing stores and, most notoriously, a Victoria's Secret lingerie outlet on Manhattan's posh Upper East Side.

Officials warn of an epidemic and promise half a million dollars in anti-bedbug funds.

"We want to send a message to bedbugs," City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said, announcing the measure Wednesday: "Drop dead. Your days are over."

Well, not quite, says Jeffrey White, host of Bedbug TV on www.bedbugcentral.com.

"They're really starting to become prevalent in a lot of places and a lot of people's homes are beginning to have a bedbug situation," he said. "It's dramatic in offices."

The city's 311 complaints line logged 31,719 bedbug-related inquiries in the 12-month period up to June this year, the mayor's office says. That's up from 26,000 in the previous year. Over the last five years, calls have risen about 20-fold.//

These cause brain damage if you are exposed to the bites for a few month. Not nice things.

What is more sexy than Victoria's Secret lingerie ... with bedbugs?

Ummm...Victoria's Secret lingerie with a woman in them instead of the bugs?

Can you imagine a romantic moment ... and the bedbugs start to show up from Victoria's Secret lingerie. Damn you will need lots of alcohol to get over that image.

Victoria's Secret is owned by a billionaire Wechsler who keeps
animal torture going at Ohio State as head of the board of trustees
www.pcrm.org sued Ohio State for a course in mouse spine breaking
www.poetwill.org many activities about Ohio State animal torture

It has been a major deforester with its hundreds of millions of
thick catalogs

You should start to smile from time to time.

Victoria Secret sells overpriced underwear and other crap that may of may NOT spice the sex life. If you do not like it do not use it. However, I found it funny that their merchandises are now infested with bedbugs.
