Today NY1 anchor John Schiumo stole the Twitter spotlight from Pat Kiernan with a harrowing tale of taxi cab body odor. The good news is he lived to Tweet the tale, which is complete with burning eyes and a stinky receipt. As Seinfeld once said, "There should be a B.O. squad that patrols the city like a 'Smell Gestapo.' To sniff 'em out, strip 'em down, and wash them with a big, soapy brush..." [via Animal]

I dunno, looking at his picture and with a name like schiumo, I would question his BO.
I had the identical experience in a cab from JFK Sunday evening. To make matters worse, the driver delivered a SBD fart midway through the drive. I took my receipt and notified the TLC. You have a right to a taxi ride free of unsavory odors.
I consider a fart to be a method of free speech and a bodily function that can not and should not be regulated by law. Let this man continue to break the winds of freedom with his methane blasts of justice.
The expulsion of gas from the (_*_) cavity should be celebrated, not reviled, for we are human. We are all imperfect, yet, equal.
like my grizzled grandpappy used to say, "a body that don't fart is a body that's dead".
Except Dust!
oh man! I'm laughing so hard I have tears in my eyes!
Schiumo, why don't you take the subway like most of us?
Or did NY1 run out of their company cars with special press plates?
I once was lucky enough to ride with a cabbie that smelled he just smoked weed.
Quit whining online about it.
I hate Twitter.
Should've gotten out of the cab.
Ditto on the twit hating.
Ha! Let's make fun of people who only make $100/day driving you around.
Do some people smell bad? Yes. Is it classy to call them out from your bully pulpit? Not so much.
third world cab drivers are gross and so are their disgusting barf cabs. Take the subway, it's actually cleaner.
Your outlook on the world is gross.
But you are correct, it's almost always better to take the subway.
Why should I give a fuck that some dude got in a cab with a smelly driver? Twitter is such a waste of space.
if you are white and don't like B.O. then you are obviously a racist.
I don't understand. Did anyone suggest this was racist? Or are you just projecting?
Funny from the man who deems himself the judge of what is topic or off-topic on this site. Your hypocrisy stinks.
i did. are you paying attention? turn off your sensitivity afterburner, stinky nuts.
It's not elitist to take a cab, or to want to be able to breathe in said cab. If you know your job is sitting in a confined space with other people all day, take a freakin shower.
I don't know what's worse, the cabbie with the BO or the ones who apparently bathe in bad cologne. I'd recommend Schiumo notify Homeland Security about this biobomber.
Barack Obama attacked who?
