It opens the door for all manner of depravity; shall we soon be forced to witness "Bedtime with Lasaga" or "Bulldoggystyle"? We call upon the citizens of New Haven, who may yet retain some scraps of self-respect amidst the crumbling ruins of their civilization, to prevent the creation of this monstrosity--with pitchforks and torches, if necessary. And should they fail in this endeavor, not all will be lost; next November, when...
