International potholes of mystery (crazy New Yorker edition)

Apparently New York City has shelled out for 15 inspectors to ride around on scooters looking for potholes (and graffiti and litter). They rode 1,918 miles and logged 2,877 complaints.

Mayor Bloomberg's efforts in this area have gone unappreciated by at least one of his constituents. "ARE YOU FREAKING ME??!! THE PROBLEM ISN'T FINDING THESE POTHOLES, IT'S FIXING 'EM!!". Indeed.

International potholes of mystery (Malaysian edition)

Municipal councillor Tham Weng Fatt isn't happy at all. These holes at the junction of Jelutong Expressway and Lebuh Bakau in Penang appeared eight hours after repair work.

“I don’t know who did the repair work but I believe it was a last-minute shoddy job when they heard I was calling a press conference to highlight the issue”

You tell them, Tham!
