Even in its current sanitized state, with a gleaming M.A.C. set to open and the the Disney store soon to follow, Times Square still manages to gross people out. "Would you buy a slice of pizza from a pizzeria underneath this billboard?" asks Consumerist. "Or get a lapdance at the 'gentleman's club'?" You're probably not going to get bedbugs from a pizzeria (though a lapdance might be another story) but it's not the most enticing visual. Best/worst part: The fact that the bedbug clearly just finished its lunch.
