Mayor of Detroit – This is why nobody lives there
06th April 2009
World Pillow Fight Day was held on April 4th. Except in Detroit. Because the police wouldn’t let people engage in a pillow fight without a permit. So let me see if I understand the situation. There are no jobs. The weather sucks. Their professional sports teams all suck (except maybe the Red Wings… since I’m a Southerner I don’t know shit about hockey). The economy sucks. The housing market sucks. And you need a fucking permit to have a pillow fight? I can’t imagine why everybody is leaving. The good news is that once everybody is gone all of you authority types won’t have to worry about people engaging in fun activities to take their minds off the generally bleak conditions of their city. And cleanup won’t be an issue either.
I guess that’s a good call. For the record, this is how the cops in Raleigh handled it. Maybe that’s why everybody from Detroit is here.
