This is the latest publicity stunt Jon Alvarez of Baldwinsville New York is up to. From his site www.pabaah.com
"PABAAH is proud to announce that we are sponsoring the first annual "Create A Pig With The Koran" "papier mache" contest!
The requirement for all entries is that the material used for all entries must be comprised of pages from the Islamic Book Of Peace (or is it Piece, as in body pieces?). Originality in design will carry great weight with the judges. Entries must be photographed and submitted by August 1, 2005. The winning entry will be auctioned off on our site, with the proceeds to be split evenly between the winning artist and a charity benefitting the children of those American soldiers killed in action fighting the War on Terror."
Just cut and plaste the link to your browser, he's got some kind of rejection firewall that won't let you go directly to his site if you just click on it. Anyways I am BEGGING DUer's and basically anyone who sees this to email the chairmen of the Onondaga County Republican and Democratic parties to officially condemn this lunatic once and for all. I would say 50 e-mails with a link to his entry would be enough to get their attention. I have already sent mine out.
I really hate this guy with a scathing passion, nothing would make me happier than to see him renounced and rejected jointly by the local Dem and GOP leadership.
Robert A. Romeo
Chair of Onondaga County Democrats
ondem@aol.com
Bob Smith
Chair of Onondaga County Republicans
bobsmith@cnygop.com
It may seem naive of me to think that Republicans have enough sense to condemn such a man, but I know thatthere are at least a few of them who wouldn't find this behavior acceptable in any society, conservative or liberal.
Thanks guys
Here's the clip of the story Rob Codry did of him for the Daily Show in 2003 to give you an idea of the kind of idiot we're talking about here.
