An article on the case set to appear in the journal Sleep Medicine explains how the woman in question suffered from severe insomnia and was taking zolpidem—a remedy marketed under several brands (including Ambien). When she upped her dose from the 10 milligrams prescribed by her doctor to 15, she received a call from her friend about a weird email send by the patient to her address. The email subject read: “!HELP ME P-LEEEEESE”, which was apparently an invitation for “dinner and drinks”. The message also asked the friend to “come TOMORROW AND SORT THIS HELL HOLE Out!!!!!!”

Leave it to enterprising New Yorkers to figure out a new and probably illegal way (if you count copyrights) to make money. The cartoon characters each hold a bag of some sort and if a tourist wants to take a picture with them then they ask for “donations”. Pure genius. Now I’m wondering if these guys are all coordinated together…

I know there are at least two of them in the area, maybe more. And they’re not quite real Elmo characters either — they’re a little “off”. I just can’t figure out what they’re trying to accomplish…
