Oh man, I love a good parking placard scandal no matter what, who doesn’t, but I especially love a good parking placard scandal involving renowned bored billionaire Jerry Seinfeld (“could Jerry Seinfeld be any more bored?” — Bandler Ching). From the AP:
NEW YORK – The New York Police Department is investigating why a Bronx police placard was displayed in comedian Jerry Seinfeld’s car.
Seinfeld spokeswoman Elizabeth Clark Zoia on Wednesday said the performer wasn’t aware of the parking placard, which belonged to Seinfeld’s longtime driver, a retired police officer.
She says the driver became concerned for Seinfeld’s safety when he arrived with the comedian to the studio where his new show is being filmed and found a crowd outside. She says the driver apparently posted the placard briefly so he could escort Seinfeld inside.
Likely story! I’m sure Seinfeld’s driver was very concerned for his client’s safety considering the type of crowd that would gather outside the studio of THE MARRIAGE REF. Quite an unruly, violent, middle-aged bunch. Mostly criminals and rapists and scrapbooking enthusiasts.
More on this SCANDAL after the jump.
The spokeswoman says Seinfeld is sorry and takes responsibility for the incident, which won’t be repeated. She says the driver won’t be fired.
Police say their records indicate the paper placard had been turned in at the end of 2007, and they’re investigating.
How mad is New Yorker writer Lizzie Widdicombe right now? You finally publish your Talk of the Town piece about parking placard abuse in New York City, and three weeks later, Jay Leno’s best friend becomes embroiled in a scandal of Global Importance!
In any case, we will continue to follow this important story throughout what we are assuming will be a lengthy public criminal court case in which Jerry Seinfeld and his plagiarist wife are both sentenced to life in a a low-security beachside prison on Montauk without the possibility of mimosas.

I’m so happy gifs are back.
I love the extras’ faces in this GIF.
Triple chin alert!
One of the Curb finales right? On a related note. YOU AND YOUR KIND ARE THE BEST gifster.
I am just so tired of all these dashboard divas! Ugh!
“Quite an unruly, violent, middle-aged BRUNCH.” – Your Grandma
At least he wasn’t taking a leak in the spot.
Anyone remember how when Seinfeld was in his late 30s, he dated a 17-year old? Good times.
“It’s a criminal charge about nothing!” – Jerry Seinfeld
“No.” – New York City
So right.
NYC: “For example, what did you do today?”
Jerry Seinfeld: “I went to my shitty television show and my driver illegally used a parking placard.”
NYC: “That’s a charge.”
Jerry Seinfeld: “That’s a charge?”
NYC: “That’s a charge.”
Jerry Seinfeld: “I think you might have something.”
‘a’ unruly or ‘an’ unruly crowd? I know there are crazy monsters who love grammar that can clear this up for me. I just don’t know. What’s the rule? It’s probably a gray area. Either way “a unruly crowd” sounds best.
“a” before consonants or an “unsounded h” – i.e. “an honest guy”
“an” before vowels, EXCEPT when “u” makes the same sound as the “y” in “you” – like “a union”.
therefore, “an unruly crowd” is correct.
Sincerely,

this should read:
“a” before consonants EXCEPT before an “unsounded h”.
my tenure has been revoked.
on an unrelated note, i was not surprised to see kevin smith’s poor grammar yesterday. that plus the jorts make total sense.
your photo is very unpleasant. It’s hard to look at and hard not to look at. But you, Lizzing, are still great!!
also thank you holy smokes! and adelwarth!! I love the collective knowledge of VGs monsters.
An unruly crowd. It’s always “an” before a vowel sound (although not necessarily before a vowel letter (e.g. a university)). It’s for the purpose of breaking up strings of vowels into segments that are more easily distinguishable.
Too late, loser!
Let’s turn this into a discussion/argument about New Urbanism and the dangers of letting technology override our ethical constraints, shall we?
You get a thumbs up b/c that is my day everyday. Such is life in a tourist city.
This is just Seinfeld fishing for new material:
.
What is up with misdemeanors? Who picked that name? and where is mr. demeanor?
…Can I have my show back?
This is gold Jerry, pure gold!
I think it’s ironic that this whole police placard situation happens 3 days before jerry’s new show is set to premiere. Publicists are really running out of ideas. I think a better idea would have been for Mr. Seinfeld to possibly beat someone with an umbrella, or shave his head, or possibly get kick off of a commercial flight for looking too Jewy… Just some ideas… This one is weak.
The funniest thing to me is that
A:) You can Park and “Represent” yourself as an Officer of the Law in NYC with a Piece of Paper.
B:) They Have a Tracking System for Pieces of Paper.
C:) I have Paper and a Car, Free NYC Parking Here I Come?
Sorry Jerry, but Michael Richards set the bar a little higher with his post-Seinfeld scandal.
What’s the deal with people placing police placards in your car? You just casually park it in your own personal garage and now it’s the property of the NYPD,
That bee head he’s wearing is very divisive, it causes unruly mobs anywhere he goes. This is not a scandal, the driver did the right thing for Jerry.
Looks like we’re dealing with…
…a CLASS BEE misdeamenor.
YEAAAAAAAAAAHHH
Never gets old
Don’t underestimate the danger posed by scrapbooking enthusiasts … they’ve been known to cut a bitch with a pair of those whimsically-shaped scissors.
I would have used the name “Mrs. Chnandler Bong” instead.
Chnandler Bong. Clair if you weren’t a saint already i would knight you for this.
I can be both.
I’m trying so hard to come up with a good “O’Brien” Seinfeld reference. I’ve let you down.
Instead of that…
