Oh My God, Gothamist! Stop it with the poor dead rat stuck in the sidewalk! For all that is holy, stop!
Best one yet!
Think it's time to give the rat a rest.
No way. That rat is now the official mascot of the Gothamist. You're stuck with him forever.
LMFAO!!!! That is so rocking! lol
Oh wow lol I saw the previous PS work - some was genius and some wasn't but it was all so creative lol
I just got back and opened up Gothamist and saw this lol really well done lol
Awesome pic!
ROTFLMAO.
But couldn't J W have made Sad Rat a Red Sox fan instead? Just sayin'.
This photo is by far the best of the bunch. More photoshopped sad rat goodness! Please!
I agree with evbo
I now wonder what would have happened if anyone photoshopped Sad Panda

I did! I even put the collection bucket...
you've stumbled on internet gold. make sad rat the official mascot of gothamist.
Ugh.. seriously, stop! He was a living creature. It is so disrespectful. Would you do it if it was a cat or a dog? NO! Everyone here always freaks out when there are stories about pet abuse. What makes this rat any less deserving of compassion?
Would you do it if it was a cat or a dog? NO!
yes.

"Would you do it if it was a cat or a dog?"
Irrelevant, because it is not. It's a rat. It's also dead, so there's no need to worry about hurting its feelings.
irrelevant?! how is that irrelevant?! what makes a feline or canine death sadder and less deserving of ridicule? do dogs or cats feel more pain or fear than a rat? in our final moments, we're all equally terrified.
yes, the animal is dead so there's nothing we can do for him now, but how we treat the dead shows how we think of them while they're alive. and you're drawing completely arbitrary distinctions.

We mere mortals are not worthy of such awesomeness! Photoshop Rat is much more entertaining than the old dead rat with a cigarette photo gothamist used to use.
I rather have these posts than the hipster stuff posted here.
Hey JW could we order pictures with the baseball cap of our choice?
YESSSSS!!!
Marv Albert does baseball games, too?
Very stupid as dead,sad rats are Mets fans.
Are you kidding? Nobody wears a Mets hat this late in October.
