Last year, a young woman was hit on the head with a brick.
This year, another woman was hit on the head with a brick.
A few days ago, a man was seriously injured when some concrete fell off of a building 14 stories high.
Last night, a man lost his arm when some concrete was thrown from a freeway overpass.
Is this a concrete conspiracy?
actually, it’s an asphalt conspiracy (trying to make concrete look bad)
I have it from reliable sources that the Illuminati are behind it.
Am I the only one who thought this was addressed to banned poster concrete? Uhhhh… bad concrete!!
If only Stephen Vincent Benet were still alive, to do another one of his great “Metropolitan Nightmare” poems…
Furious at being ground underfoot,
The very concrete rears back
To take bloody vengeance upon the citizens
Of the great stone city…
To tell you the truth, I think people have been getting bonked on the head by various bits and pieces of New York since Peter Stuyvesant was limping around lower Manhattan. It’s just that the Media has become obsessed with the story (remember all the fuss a few months ago about gypsy cab drivers getting shot? Like THAT never used to happen), and gruff city editors are shouting at cubs to hustle out and bring back people-bonked-on-the-head stories…
There was a story in the news recently where a donkey slipped on concrete, but it turned out it was actually asphalt.
Too bad Guiliani dropped out, that could have been a great campaign platform for Hillary. “Sure, he can banish the working girls and pimp daddies from Times Square and let the Mouse take over the heart of the city. He can alientate minorities rights under the guise of “crime control.” But can he stop gravity? I THINK NOT!”

“Dislodged brick from Tower Of Babel stikes vigin!
She now channels 200 voices!”
Earliest “bonked by brick” cite.
Talkinsquirrel - that was the point.
Last night I was watching the news and each story was about a block of concrete or falling concrete or thrown concrete. How could I not think of our concrete?
Uke, yeah, the media is obsessed. At least they’re pronouncing it correctly, not like “harassed”.
SRiddles, hilarious slogan.
