I have to admit i'm pretty surprised to see this in a Socialist/Progressive-run Newspaper like the NY Times. Kudos to them on this one.
Critics of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg will relish opening a copy of Saturdays New York Times.
The paper will feature a full-page color ad of Hizzoner wearing a dress, under the banner The Nanny.
The ad, paid for by the Center for Consumer Freedom, targets Bloomberg for his health-related proposal to ban the sale of sugared soft drinks in servings larger than 16 ounces.
Today show host Matt Lauer told Bloomberg Friday that his proposal sounds ridiculous especially since City Hall deemed it appropriate to celebrate Friday as National Doughnut Day.
It doesnt sound ridiculous, Bloomberg responded. He claimed he merely wants to promote moderation something he also advocates, but has taken no action to enforce, for doughnut consumption.
At least one company isnt pleased with Bloombergs anti-soda proposal. Fast-food giant McDonalds tweeted Friday, @MikeBloomberg We trust our customers to make the choices that are best for them.
Whats next? the Times ad asks. Limits on the width of a pizza slice, size of a hamburger or amount of cream cheese on your bagel? The Center for Consumer Freedom is food industry-funded, but has long advocated for personal responsibility and less government control over food and beverages.
Bloomberg has long been an object of scorn from libertarian-minded constituents who, among other things, despise his ongoing quest to stomp out cigarette smoking.
