As astounding as it may seem, the youth of today still know who the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are…and they find this cowabunga crowd so fun-filled that they feel compelled to take their admiration to new levels. Dangerous levels:
Three blockheaded teenagers were busted playing in a sewer Wednesday in Queens – after getting lost while pretending to be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, police sources said.
Schiller Milfort, 16, of Hollis, and Marvin Ottley, 17, of Bellaire, along with an unidentified 15-year-old boy, were shirtless and in their shorts and sneakers when firefighters plucked them out of a sewer in Kissena Park.
The make-believe heroes were crawling around the sewer system when they got confused and lost their way, police sources said.
Police chided the lads by saying, “They were never in danger, just goofing off and being stupid.” We feel this comment is insensitive. These kids should instead be praised for taking cosplay to a whole new level.

Yes, it’s ASTOUNDING that characters who have appeared in multiple TV series, movies, and toy lines over the last 20 years or so are known to teenagers.
It would be cooler if they were aspiring urban spelunkers who were more inspired by Infltration – http://www.infiltration.org/ or something like it. Well, the TMNT typically lead to harder stuff one way or another…
Knowing kids that age, I find it really hard to believe that they were playing at TMNT in the sewers. Doesn t anyone else find that a little strange? My guess is that they just made that up to stay out of trouble. They probably weren’t really doing anything but messing around down there, but I highly doubt they were playing TMNT.
Kids LOVE the TMNT!! I am continuously surprised when the next generation knows about and likes them.
I was at work one time and two youngsters sitting next to me were talking and one of them asks the other if they knew who April O’Neil was. And the girl was just like, ‘huh’, and the guy says, ‘you know April, but, not like TMNT April, one of our clients’ and the girl was like, ‘oh yeah, good you mentioned that, cause I was totally thinking about the TMNT’ and then they went and hummed the theme song. I was like, ‘were you two even born in time to catch that?’. I guess they were. O.o
I DNT PUNISH THEM FOR GOINQ IN THE SEWERS THEY ARE JUST
KIDS WITH GREAT IMAGINATION
