SNUG AS A BUG

Poor New Yorkers-- seems you can't go anywhere where it is dark and/or has a mattress.

A BEDBUG INVASION!!

First, there was the Hollister Soho store invasion followed by the Abercrombie & Fitch store closing at South Street Seaport.  

NOW!  It's the movie theaters.

The New York Daily News filed a report quoting exterminators, who say they have been called out to exterminate the pests at movie houses throughout the city.

Experts warned Sunday that cushy theater seats pose a far bigger bedbug threat than racks in clothing stores - despite last week's news of bedbug infestations at two Manhattan shops. "In a movie theater, you are sitting in one spot for two hours. They have the opportunity to feed on you," said Jennifer Erdogan, director of Bell Environmental Services, a pest control company that fumigates movie theaters, offices and stores. "Bedbugs need people to stop moving to get a blood meal." Shoppers are still scratching from reports that bedbugs shut down Hollister in SoHo and its sister store Abercrombie & Fitch in the South Street Seaport. To moviegoers, the mere mention of flesh-hungry insects noshing on audiences was worse than any horror film playing Sunday in Manhattan. "That's sick," said Cassandre Augustine, 18, of Flatbush, Brooklyn, who was headed to see "Get Him To The Greek" in midtown. "It makes me extra germophobic. Now I have to wear long pants all the time."

What's next?  Broadway?  The Pierre?
