you never know with patriotic do-gooders who are trying to get on national news. i am sure the whole city will riot if there's even a possibility of the sign being killed, and I'll be in the front row.
i just hate the fact that this is even being discussed. I actually carry a very pure and dedicated love in my heart for the citgo sign and have been for 19 years now, since I saw it for the first time on the 7th day of our life in america....
Ah, come on. There are always fucked up people like this wishing to do fucked up things. As the experience shows, the common sense always prevails, even in Boston.
Common sense always prevails?!! common sense prevails?? Yelya, ну ты скажешь... явно в сф никогда не жила. но как же насчёт кембриджа?!
p.s. in this case - yeah, thankfully it will probably prevail. Слышал телегу - неоднократно - что Ситго уже давно не отвечает за этот знак, и платит за него город, потому что народ взбунтовался, когда его захотели снимать когда-то давно. Из этой заметки однако очевидно обратное.
"Given the hatred of the United States displayed by dictator Hugo Chavez, it would be more fitting to see an American flag when you drive through Kenmore Square," McDermott told The Boston Herald. "I think people would soon forget the Citgo sign."
All right -- I absolutely fuckin' hate that stupid Citgo sign, and I really hope that it can be taken down, draged through the mud, beheaded and quartered. I mean seriously -- what's this "landmark" bulshit?? An industrial propaganda item -- a "landmark"? That said, why do they have to put a fuckin' flag? There aren't enough flags in the neighborhood? Can't they put, say, a giant photo, of, say, Monica Belucci naked? :)
I don't think the Citgo Sign and a giant poster of naked Monica Belucci are mutually exclusive. I love the Citgo Sign because it's really important for the city of Boston, and for me. It's like a lighthouse when you're on storrow or memorial drives, or on beacon or commonwealth, it makes the boston skyline look respectable from cambridge, it looms over the most important place for most bostonians, and it's red and bright and shiny - what more can you ask for? it's happiness itself, no one gives a shit that it's an ad. The giant photo of naked Monica Belluci would look really good hanging form the top of the JOhn Hancock tower (on both sides).

и заменить букву или две в слове citgo
внешне останется также, но зато будет просто некомерчекий landmark
