Lighten Up, Francis (and Frances)

Yes, there are morons in New York.

Mercifully, they're not generally natives. Rather, they are either (Omilikegod!) little Jasons and Madisons come to the city to make their fortune before they settle into oggling the hot guy who cuts the grass from the Palladian window in the McMansion of their dreams or (OMOYGAWD) Jugsy Jihad types, bored between appointments at the nail salon and "cosmetic dermatologist." Either way, they hit town and immediately begin sticking their busybody noses into the most important issues of our day.

Like, for example, ad campaigns for obscure self-storage facilities.

Apparently, a humor-challenged group of morons has decided it cares not for the politically charged ad campaign of Manhattan Mini Storage. Yes, this group of jackasses is piqued by ads for lockers in which to store the detritus of their meaningless existence as they sip their morning Red Bull on the No. 6 train or Starbucks skim milk cappuccino with Splenda in the SUV they picked up wholesale before news broke about the "massive scam" at ex-hubby's car dealership.

Anyway, Manhattan Mini-Storage is taking a poll to find out what you think of the ads. Needless to say, sanity is prevailing, but you should still VOTE HERE (top right corner, where you'll also find a link to view the full series of ads), because if you can't stop a bunch of wingnuts from destroying a few countries, at least you can destroy something they really care about.
