ICC you acting like a moron
You know who I don't like? Metro Woman, the less-than-super hero the Sierra Club cooked up to promote the "Purple Line" intercounty transit route over the mostrous Intercounty Sprawlway.
She looks like this.
Really now, what are the goals with this? The only thing that's going to happen is that people are going to cross the street when they see this woman handing out flyers. Sure, they got some publicity for their cause, but it was silly publicity, the kind of story that sticks around in the viewer's head for about five minutes before they start talking about the pope again. As it turns out, not all publicity is good publicity, which is something many of these street theater activists just don't understand.
How can ICC opponents stop the highway and get transit instead? Dig up nasty connections between supporters and donors. Astroturf a letter-writing campaign. Like the conservatives and Kerry, get together with other single-issue groups to beat up on Ehrlich generally.
How can ICC opponents make sure the road gets built? Dress up in silly uniforms.
