Felder is running for city comptorller, it helps him to keep his name in the news with oddball legislation. I still say we should call him on his hatred for recycling and suggest recycling as a solution to the menu/circulat clutter.

This is a huge day in the history of this city. Obviously, all our major problems--crime, housing, traffic, sanitation, education--have been solved. Because now the City Council can turn its attention to fucking takeout menus.

I hereby declare that the former city council shall now be referred to as the city CLOWNcil. Its respective members shall accordingly be called CLOWNcil members

Do these City Council people really have nothing better to spend time doing? Maybe they should take some cooking classes from Emeril. I hear they dont cause homosexuality!

You boil your veggies? That's disgusting. I thought you said you knew how to cook. I'd much rather order out than eat that shit.

How about Felder institute a special recycling program for all the unwanted circulars? Of course not, because he hates the recycling program.

I say ban the menus and make that 'man' named Barney take some cooking lessons. It's okay to turn off Sportscenter and watch Emeril once in a while, no one will call you 'gay'. Any man that depends on a delivery menu for dinner is not really a man. A real man knows how to cook and cook well. I've been cooking for myself and various girlfriends since I was 19. How hard is it to cook a steak, bake a potato and boil some veggies?

Curious if there'll be a First Amendment challenge to this seeing as it's commercial speech.

I'm beginning to really dislike these clowns called city council people.

I think a ban like that is somewhat unenforceable. Moreover, what would stop a competitor from grabbing a bunch of menus and distributing them --- thereby costing his competition numerous fines. Fortunately, I live in a doorman building and they ask to see that delivery people open up their bags to make sure there aren't extra menus to be distributed.

I love menus when i need to do take out. other wise there is too many of them. I think new restaurants should be able to give them out. maybe limit restaurants to a few a year.
