New York (AFP) - One of the large digital billboards dotting New York's iconic Times Square briefly caught fire Saturday, before the blaze was extinguished with no reported injuries, officials said.
Flames started bursting out of the billboard around 3:00 pm (1900 GMT).
Social media users posted images and video showing the blaze burning on one side of the sign as it displayed an ad for SKYY vodka as sponsor of New York's WorldPride celebrations next month, marking the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall gay rights uprising.
The ad featured drag queen Trixie Mattel. Other ads were also displayed on the billboard until firefighters turned it off.

Oops, meant to ping you, too. This is how I meant to underline it.

AIDS March in NYC today. It overwhelms my neighborhood, as people start to tire at the 2/3 or 3/4 mark. A barista at Starbucks actually passed out from the overload and they had to close the store. Lots of small and smallish kids—indoctrinating them early.

But just to cheer everyone up, there’s a massive demonstration in Times Square tomorrow to get rid of Ilhan Omar from Congress. AND a big billboard going up about ousting her.

I believe this is a subtle warning. I can’t prove that, of course.
Anyone remember the Statue of Liberty “waving a red flag” prior to 09/11/2001?
I must admit, I didn’t put much stock in that one at the time though I was warning many about islamic terrorism.
Hope DHS is alert in NYC.

I thought I put this in “News” appropriately but maybe I missed.
