Fox News Bedbug Victim Sues Landlord

big sale on truck nutzA tragic bedbug infestation recently terrorized the building that houses Fox News and the New York Post in Manhattan, and everyone died. The one cockroach-lady who didn’t die, Jane Clark, a Fox News satellite feed coordinator, has now sued the landlord. Apparently, dealing with bedbugs at work is the same thing as the Iraq War, as Clark claims they “left her unable to work and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.” She doesn’t add, however, that the PTSD was mostly from witnessing the bedbugs suckling on a naked Bill O’Reilly, who was lying on his office floor, blindfolded and sobbing, listening to The Doors’ “The End” on an endless loop of self-reckoning.

    Bedbugs at work would not be a problem if you were not sleeping on the job, lady.

    Bedbugs are actually the least creepy things in the Fox News building that will crawl into your bed at night and suck your blood.

    Ugh, I cannot explain the awkward line break in that last post.

    I blame Gawker, somehow.

    I can see where a roadside bomb and a minor skin irritant could have the same effect on a person’s mental state. I can totally see that.

    So, are these bedbugs like crabs then?

    Blood-sucking, disease-spreading parasites at the Faux News/Daily Post headquarters? This is news how?

    Those MSNBC folk are such funny practical jokesters.

    “I had so many bedbugs on me, I had to clean myself off with one of those falaffel deals.”

    Its no wonder that Bed Bugs turn up for perpetual sinners.

    They need those bed bugs to guard the fox house. Poor little fox pups might be carried off by an angry mob!

  11. I’m glad a Biblical pest such as bedbugs has engulfed Fox News. Anything that makes them scratch their butts in public is fine with me.

    Those bedbugs are national heroes and deserve medals.

    I love when O’Reilly gets into the heroin and starts singing the doors. It’s so much better than when he’s angry at the teleprompt on speed.
    As long as he has some kind of substance in his body though he can replace the soul he sold to the Falafel gods.

    This post is from 2008, now we are seeing an increase in the amount of bed bugs lawsuits. Who’s fault is it, the landlord or the resident? Last week we saw a lawsuit appear on Staten Island. Hotels and motels must do regular inspection and treatments to ensure their rooms do not become infested with bed bugs, as it can cost them big bugs if they loose the lawsuits.
