Oct 16 2008Three Teens Playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles In NYC Sewers Get Lost, Rescued
Three teenagers (15, 16, and 17) were playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the New York City sewer system when they got separated from Master Splinter and ended up lost.
"These three idiots were playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and wanted to go into the sewers," said one police source. "They were never in danger, just goofing off and being stupid."
Never in danger my ass. I've been in those sewers before, I know. Lots of scary shit down there. One time I found a body and poked it with a stick. Wait a minute -- what the hell are a bunch of kids above the age of 15 doing playing Ninja Turtles anyways? Aren't they a little old for that? Trick question! You're never too old to play TNMT. I call Leonardo!
Three found, busted after getting lost in sewer [nydailynews]
Thanks Matt, you can be Raphael.

Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines (That's a fact, Jack!)
Raphael is cool but crude (Gimme a break!)
Michaelangelo is a party dude (Party!)

what to you want to bet that they are also world of warcraft players, have asthma, watch babylon 5, and will never see a vagina? chances are pretty high.

Fake!
This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tall because the shawods are all wrong. It looks more like a scene from Never Back Down than a NY city street.

9. C-Basstian - October 16, 2008 3:02 PM
well...michelangelo is all me then... COWABUNGA!
hey check it out that one dude is blinking red i think we have almost killed him
10. malochey - October 16, 2008 3:06 PM
I want to rapidly blink red before I die. Then maybe I'll disappear after the fact.
11. LeftRIGHTLeft - October 16, 2008 3:09 PM
Wow...I can't believe they didn't get eaten by the alligators...
12. malochey - October 16, 2008 3:10 PM
Watch out for Rat King and the mousers.
13. Hairyman - October 16, 2008 3:11 PM
Could they not find a fourth to complete their team? That is sad. What group of firends plays TMNT with only three? I wonder who they left out of their little game? Poor boys will never live this down.
Can I be Rocksteady or Be-Bop?
14. flaberghast - October 16, 2008 3:18 PM
F***.... does this mean I've got to be Donatello? shit nobody wants to be Donatello.... Hey I'll be Shredder! Hells yeah... I'll cut you motherf***er!

Can I be a member of the foot fetish ninjas?
16. Boing - October 16, 2008 3:24 PM
Maybe, MAYBE if this were 1992 and the kids were 9, 10, and 11, this would be a funny story... instead its just sad and pathetic.
17. LSDiesel - October 16, 2008 3:28 PM
Did anyone else think that playing Ninja Turtles might be slang for....oh, I don't know. DOING DRUGS??? Kind of like how when you're choking the chicken, there is not actually a chicken, it's you beating your penis like it owes you money.
18. mamadough - October 16, 2008 3:30 PM
#17, the chicken owes you money?

Who the hell plays Teenage-Mutant-Turtles make-believe at seventeen?
20. Eddie - October 16, 2008 3:31 PM
That really sounds like something I would do. I love TMNT!!! The original show, and the first two movies.
21. GEOFF LEPPARD - October 16, 2008 3:33 PM
Also: 'never in danger'? Well, my friends, I'll have you know there are Alligators down there. My friend's cousin's caseworker saw one once. It's a widely-believed fact.

if i was 16 and went into the sewers with my friends to cause some bullshit then got stuck, "i was playing tmnt" is the only excuse you got. i think these f***ers were planning an attack and got stuck in the poop chute.
23. Jukai - October 16, 2008 3:44 PM
I got trapped somewhere before, so I can relate. Except, I wasn't playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Also, I was eleven. Also, it wasn't the sewers, it was my Uncle Pete's house.
...
Uncle Pete raped me =/
24. Thumperchica - October 16, 2008 3:45 PM
OK, they can't be WoW players because they left the house.
They got seperated from Splinter? They had 4 people, and instead of having all 4 Turtles, the picked a Splinter?
WTF, They got BBQ PWNED by the NYC Sewer system...
Ok, I'm done
25. Mvivanc - October 16, 2008 4:02 PM

26. Mvivanc - October 16, 2008 4:09 PM

"the original cartoon" ... jayzus!

35. GEOFF LEPPARD - October 16, 2008 9:09 PM
Thirty-three, your comment is confusing.
36. JameLess - October 17, 2008 6:59 AM
I hate to be the jerk here. But you said TNMT when you meant TMNT. Sorry.... :(

They are lucky to be alive. The sewers are where the C.H.U.D.S. live.
