Don't Hate, Deflate

This is why I love NY.

The grad students at NYU are striking and they’ve been using a large inflatable rat as a part of the protests. Most of the unions around here do that when they strike, not a big deal. Or so you'd think. Apparently no one had considered the Great Pointed Archer Society. What is the Great Pointed Archer Society? It is a society dedicated to protecting the rat against defamation. They were in Washington Square Park by NYU and they were having a huge protest against the strikers. Apparently it is an abuse of the rat, or GPAs as they call them, to be used as symbols in strikes. They’re motto was “Don’t hate, Deflate.” It was hilarious. They even had a big inflatable man as an alternative to the rat, a guy dressed up in a rat suit, a ton of protestors in t-shirts (that they were also selling) and a band. They outnumbered the actual strikers at least 3-1. They even have a website

So remember as you go about your day, Don't hate, deflate.
