MAKING A POINT AND GETTING NOTICED

A sight of a 10-foot (roughly 3 meters) inflatable rat on the street of a busy business part of Manhattan should raise an eye brow, right? No. Not if you are accustomed to seeing quite a lot of them. Amazing how people get used to the strangest things. These Rats (sometimes inflatable Cockroaches too!) are used by different unions to show that they have a labor dispute. The truck carrying one of those Rats is placed in front of the building that houses the company in question. This particular one was in connection to a protest against exposure to asbestos. The only people noticing this giant fixture were the tourists and ... me!:)
