Queens Crap was featured in a news report!
NEW YORK (WPIX) — People in Queens are giving credit to PIX 11 News for the recent surge of city cleanup crews in storm-ravaged neighborhoods.
"Amazing What Embarrassing TV Coverage Will Do" was the headline Tuesday on the popular blog Queens Crap, which spotlighted Greg Mocker's report on the rush of tree-removal crews to the Middle Village area, which was hit by a tornado on September 16.
PIX 11 brought increased attention to the neighborhood with reports on the slow progress of the cleanup. While city officials denied PIX 11's coverage triggered the cleanup surge, people commenting on Queens Crap disagreed.
"Bloomberg hates to have his 'Bloomberg' brand tarnished with negative comments particularly on TV," wrote one person.
That was echoed by "Linda" who said: "Who cares what sign is on the truck, the damn trees are getting cleaned up!"
Heh. I'm glad someone is paying attention. The rest of the news crews left a long time ago.
Brooklyn got help from the U.S. Forest Service.

Hey Mocker. You're still an annoying fuck. Like a bedbug. But a lovable one. How long can you keep up this heebie-jeebie "investigative" shtick before running out of gas? Now go investigate Arnold Diaz's underwear.
Hey George; leave Mocker alone, as long as he keeps punching and jabbing at King Bloomberg he's okay in my book.
I'd rather have Mocker doing his investigative hit & run shtick than watching the cookie-cutter plastic reporters on the other channels.
Middle Village and Whitestone got blasted by the tornado - yet Bloomberg did not mention or visit or give adequate support to the residents of this area.
Serves these residents right - I'll bet Bloomberg is saying - as they voted for me 2x and not on the 3rd - I'll teach them!
I thought cleanup was quick and thorough and Con Ed was working around the clock - the media is taking credit for something they truly had NOTHING to do with.

Are you kidding me! thank god for channel 11 news, middle village was being ignored and once they did a live report and this guy mocker bashing the city, the next day the park had trucks clearing up the sidewalks. THANK YOU MOCKER and CHANNEL 11.
I'd like to THANK Mocker too! I think you not only did a great job in reporting our issues but you forced them to do something about it. THANK YOU! = )
Little Anderson Cooper lite over here
Good one. And annoying is not necessarily a bad thing. I've been accused of it several times.
I too.
How do you get in touch with that guy? He might be able to fix the dumping problem we have over here. Or the truck problem. Or the traffic light problem. Or...
Hey! My awesome comment on this blog got mentioned on Mocker's clip too.
Nobody knows who you are and what's more, nobody gives a shit.
Ah... someone's jealous...
