its a big billboard! SO THE FUCK WHAT! you live in new york. get over it or move to queens.
...and to preempt any shit i might get, i realize queens is part of new york city.
The military recruited all the time at my suburban middle-class Long Island high school too. They were there all the time, and one of our full-time security guards was formerly in the Navy and would constantly try and talk us into joining. This was pre-Iraq too.
I'm all in favor of student rights, but the idea that military recruiting is harassment is absurd. How are students going to stand up for their rights if they don't even understand the first thing about them?
That picture is a little creepy. What's the story behind it?

There's billboards in Queens too...
you know, along with electricity, running water and opposable thumbs.
Yeah, the pic is more than a little creepy. I can't decipher the comments on it (to see them click the word "Untitled" in the photo credit line).
That shot was taken at the Phagwah festival in Richmond Hill, Queens. Very basiclaly, it's a HinduCarribbean celebration of Spring.
