Panda Alert: Times Square

stereogum has possibly the biggest scoop of the year...well, maybe only to Gothamist, but still: A panda crosses the street in Times Square. While documenting the rise of the adorable black-and-white furry mammal's buzz, stereogum writes:

I saw a panda hail a cab in Times Square this afternoon. Thank god I have a camera phone otherwise you wouldn't believe me. The panda was holding a briefcase. I think he works at Conde Nast.

Well, if Conde Nast is cool and allows him to sleep for 18 hours of the day, then yes, the panda works there. [Via whatevs]

Another Times Square things: TRL, Good Morning America, The Naked Cowboy.

The glaringly obvious question is:

Uncle G, thank you mostest.

And while the guy might have been an actor, trust me, we'll be seeing more of them around.

I saw the Panda too... in front of Grand Central. I think he was an actor. (The signs declaring that they were filming the scene kind of clued me in.)
