Philadelphians are very grumpy
Imagine: Somebody there is campaigning against their equivalent of Duck Tours. Among his demands: Tour operators stop encouraging their riders to quack at passersby. Not everybody agrees, however. Then again, unlike our tours, apparently the ones in Philadelphia also play loud music.
He can't spell either
Not only is he grumpy, but he can't write, can't spell, and should know that it's not "Penn University". I don't care about Penn, but get it right - call it Penn, the U of P, or by its full name, The University of Pennsylvania. Oh, and I'm from there, and while he might be grumpy, most Philadelphians are just mad, in-your-face, or both.
Anyone see the irony in
Anyone see the irony in calling PENN students "Snobby", but waging a full out campaign on an irrelevant, snobby issue about tourist's and their oh so noisy quackery?
Come on, Philly's got worse problems then this. So does Boston.
Anyone care to guess how long before we get some up tight twit from Beacon Hill or Back Bay to start up a Boston chapter?
"How dare you annoy me and ruin my quite time with my espresso, the nerve!"
Already been done
When we went on a Duck Tour this past summer (relatives were in, whadaya gonna do?), we were told not to quack on Beacon Hill because the neighbors had complained.
yeah, took me all of two
yeah, took me all of two seconds. Tubes are wonderful, aren't they?

It's this kind of snobbery that get's my feather in a fluff. Wish I had the resources to fight back against this snobbery and stupidity. No one complains when their little precious rat dog accessory takes a dump on the sidewalk and they just keep on walking...
It's sad, really, that this is what people get worked up about...
