A flag mysteriously was placed atop the Brooklyn Bridge recently, the act has authorities baffled with the who, why and when of it's placement. In a sheer stroke of luck, an evil entity rose up and took responsibility for the heinous act on Twitter - the self-proclaimed parody Twitter account also claimed the rights to the moon landing, for the faking of President Obama’s birth certificate and for the crash of the New York Times website, some tweets even containing the ominous phrase "I pinky swear," this according to the (for now) anonymous account holder's attorney Steve Vaccaro.

The tweets were even picked up by other news agencies but were quickly retracted after they realized they had been duped. The Manhattan DA jumped feet first into the fire and sent Twitter a subpoena to gain access to the identity of this account holder.

According to New York Times, Twitter declined to discuss the flag case, but said in a statement that as a policy, it notified users of requests for their information “prior to disclosure unless we are prohibited from doing so.”

Word of the subpoena rankled cycling and pedestrian advocates on Friday, particularly as cycling groups have pressed the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., to prosecute driving offenses more aggressively.


Public enemy number one - pinky swear!
