BBQ? NIMBY!

Aghast at the "prospect" that common folk (like those without yards, money, etc) might want to participate in the Great American Pastime ™ of BBQ'ing, a select group of nearby residents and others have come together to try and ban all cooking in Prospect Park, assuming you're cooking on a BBQ.

A 50 year-old leads a band of 50 with a Change.org petition asking liberal do-gooder Mayor DeBlasio to exert his powers of evil on banning the illegal smokeouts. The illegal fires in non-approved areas are serving up such delicious treats as steaks, burgers, corn, grilled kale, and possibly meth, all while ruining the grass when illegal coals are dumped on the grass. The anti-charcoal activist also considers the approved fire pits a hazard and want them shut down, as well.

Ideally, I think we should fence off the park so it can remain a quiet oasis for the flora, fauna, and wildlife. Everyone can then go back to BBQ'ing on the fuckin' sidewalk, where it belongs. And all those poor people who live around the park in those ugly towers of gold and diamonds can have some peace and smoke-free air! Enjoy the Fourth of July, Park Slope!
