Rich Uncle Pennybags?
Oh, my, aren’t we SO SUPERIOR to EVERYTHING that we cannot appreciate the efforts of the Lincoln Square B.I.D. (Business Improvement District) to create a pleasant community event that makes everyone feel good, even if for just one night, about their neighborhood?
The graphic represents a classicly-dressed New York City snowman flipping a Black-and-White classic NYC cookie!
So he wears a top-hat! That makes him rich? And, even so, is rich inherently bad?
And what if there were NO Winter’s Eve? Wouldn’t all you faux-populists then complain about how the “rich” do not want to part with their money to make the “ordinary folk” have a pleasant time?
Of course, you’d probably have a hard time expressing all that in fewer than 140 characters!
I think you hit it, Scooter.
Thanks for a (much needed) laugh.
Dear Not-So-Independent-Of-Scooter,
“Hitting it on the head” actually missed the head by a mile. There was no critique of Lincoln Center intended by my Comment, that was only a delusion of Scooter Stan.
I merely noted the likeness of the image. Perhaps carpentry is not your thing?
“Oh, my, aren’t we SO SUPERIOR to EVERYTHING” – Scooter.
Scooter,
Ypur personal attacks belie your faux ‘pleasant community event that makes everyone feel good’.
Attacking others is not that good community spirit that you profess.
Fits this area don’t you think?
Is this for the general public or for patrons of Lincoln Center or some other community group?
It’s for the public. A wonderful, fun night in the area — there is music all around and most of the restaurants have stands outside offering low priced bites of their signature dishes.
Fun — you should go.
This is open to everyone. WSR
Tree lighting, obvious Christmas theme in graphic, yet no mention of the dreaded “C” word. One need not be a Christian to be less-than-sanguine about the War on Christmas.
(Yes, Virginia, there really is a war on Christmas.)
Christmas became a secular holiday in 1870 the moment it was made an official Federal Holiday by congress.
