<p>Look, we get it: New York is the greatest city in the world and you didn't spend tons of money traveling here to not take pictures of it. We know Central Park is one of the top tourist spots to snap some sweet tall trees/tall buildings pics, but there's a limit, okay? And that limit is definitely wading out onto some thin ice just to take a good Instagram.</p>
<p><!--more-->Sure, a snow-covered pond <em>looks</em> like it's frozen enough, but even gangly tweens could put enough pressure on that ice to snap it. NBC <a href="http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Central-Park-Pond-Rescue-FDNY-189874521.html">reports</a> that two teenagers were rescued from Central Park Pond today after falling through the ice while taking pictures. The boys survived with minor injuries, as did the firefighter who waded in to rescue them. But will they survive the scolding of their angry and embarrassed parents?</p>
<p>Best vacation ever!</p>

<p>Anyone searching for cheap, counterfeit sports memorabilia, media, clothing and jewelry today may be disappointed. In conjunction with other law enforcement agencies around the world, U.S. authorities have taken down 132 domain names as part of their Project Cyber Monday. This marks the third year for the project, which goes after sites identified as sources for fake, illegal goods.</p>
<p>Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued <a href="http://www.ice.gov/news/releases/1211/121126washingtondc.htm" target="_blank">a statement</a> about the take-downs, which noted authorities targeted sites meant to fool unwitting consumers "into unknowingly buying counterfeit goods as part of the holiday shopping season."<!--more--></p>
<p>ICE's statement indicates authorities also followed the money to hit site owners where it hurts:</p>
<blockquote><p>In addition to the domain name seizures, officials identified PayPal accounts utilized by the infringing websites. Proceeds received through the identified PayPal accounts, in excess of $175,000, are currently being targeted for seizure by the investigating [Homeland Security Investigations] field offices.</p></blockquote>
<p>Since 2010 authorities have seized 1,630 domains. ICE reports that the banners used to alert potential customers that the site has been seized have received a total of 110 million views.</p>
<p>As for those Canal Street guys peddling knock-off Rolexes? We're probably still stuck with them for the time being.</p>
