Trouble at the High Line. It seems that guests of the Standard Hotel, which overlooks the converted railway, have been offering performances of a sexual nature for the benefit of those who wander beneath. Some of these performances, even the solo shows, have been rather graphic, and neighbors are up in arms! Fortunately, the hotel has a plan to address the issue: They're going to make a "concerted effort to remind guests of the transparency of the guest room windows," which will surely not give anyone who hadn't already considered it any ideas.

Those aren't their arms = too easy?
Good to get Jimmy McNulty's thoughts on this.
"concerted effort to remind guests of the transparency of the guest room windows,"
Also? Those people aren't really INSIDE the television.
I always thought that if I were ever quoted on the news, it would be with something like "concerned citizen" or "local hero" under my name. But "saw naked man" works as well.
That's my favorite part of all this. SAW NAKED MAN! Oh NO!
Is this now considered a problem in Manhattan? When I lived on W. 15th back in the early '90s, at least four different neighbors apparently forgot about the transparency of their windows - just as I simultaneously and coincidentally didn't recall said transparency of my own windows! Inevitably (and happily), a neighborly get-together would follow...
Frankly, it was a big selling point for the neighborhood and the city.
I thought hotel rooms were just prone to this sort of thing. I've seen a few performances of this character at hotels across the street from me, the best of them featuring the lady somewhat and noisily out the window while her rear portion was receiving the loving treatment indoors.
(And yes, warnings about transparency should be required by law next to all windows.)
'Objects in Window May Appear' - work for you ?
Nothing much works, really.
It should be noted, of course, that anyone staying at the Standard Hotel would be worth watching fuck. It's not the Marriott in Times Square and these aren't fatties from Wisconsin, after all...
Totally agree. I've noticed the same thing! People who are worth watching fuck are somehow attracted to overrated venues.
the proper e-spelling is 'fattehs.'
I have the same view of my neighbors every night, get over it.
The Magic Fingers eats quarters.
You know, they're probably employees and this is just the most brilliant word-of-mouth marketing campaign ever.
Better than dinner and a movie.
