Adam... We exhale CO2, so excercise will cause people to have a larger "carbon footprint." :rolleyes:

My customer was one of the protestors, she said it was like a secret mission trying to get in there and put the banner up. She was very proud.

Glenn, your first sentence doesn't make any sense to me. And yea, how did he pull this off? Impressive!

New York may or may not be anti-car. But cars are, without a doubt, anti-urban.

m: A history lesson. Robert Moses, the most pro-car person, like, EVER, dipped the entire NYC metro area in asphalt, coating it with the West Side Highway (off of which the Javits Center exists), the FDR, the Cross-Bronx, the LIE, the BQE... you get the picture. If there is a place that is NOT anti-car - at least, a place that isn't laid out like it was anti-car - it's NYC. That said, I wish NYC was more anti-car. Also - the Javits Center is a state facility, thus manned by State Police. How the protestors managed to clamber up the Javits's walls is beyond me, but bravo fellows!

I wonder how long it is going to take the environmental extremists to link exercise and increased heart rates to increased CO2 emissions! Maybe somebody should mandate purchase of (bullshit) "carbon credits" as part of your gym membership?

This fake banner gets an "F" for cleverness.

GM sells more cars in the US that get 30 mpg or more than any other company. GM's trucks and SUVs are more fuel efficient than Toyota's. And why does NYC host an auto show? Maybe because NYC is the media capital of the nation? Duh!

I don't know why NYC hosts the auto show. What could be more anti-city than cars?

This is brilliant. Good for Freedom for Oil. Love the cop on the escalator's hat with the blue ribbon.
