Bus Company Cancels ‘Ghetto’ Tours
A bus company has cancelled tours that promised tourists a glimpse into the seedier side of New York “from a safe distance.”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the company, Real Bronx Tours, cancelled the tours amid outrage from local residents.
Three times a week, the $45 tour gave foreign visitors a glimpse at food lines, drug dealers chilling outside corner bodegas, seedy housing projects, and a park described as a pickpocket hangout.
The tour website described the Bronx as a borough that was “notorious for drugs, gangs, crime and murders.”

Video: SlaverWII (Slavery): Whip Not Included
Thanks to Pat over at Weneedtostop.com for the link to this racist video parody of a Nintendo Wii commercial.
Below is Pat’s email which includes a link if you want to complain to the corporate machine about the illegal use of ts copyrighted name and products.
Whether or not Nintendo can act on this video, I don’t know, but I have sent a letter to them, and if you are also appalled, you may cut and paste this letter I sent. Don’t forget to sign it.Let other people know and encourage them to write to Nintendo also. Just talking/typing about it does nothing. If you have never written to a company, now would be a good time to start.
Submit your letter here. Denise Kaigler is the new VP of Corporate Affairs.
