Somebody lock up these tourists...
I mean, really… come now.

Those "I New York" tshirts/caps/hats/mugs/pens/younameits are bad enough.

But who - with tears in my eyes, I ask you - who in their right mind buys that crap and then wears it while they're still bloody well in New York!?

We know you love New York. You're on holiday in New York. Unless you're here against your will that shmarmy smile tells us that you love New York! There's no need to broadcast the fact on a bloody T-shirt! It's bad enough that my corneas have to be offended by that tourist tat at almost every shop within a square mile of Times Square, but when it starts to leak out into the wider city then something really has to be done.

Targeted missile strikes of the offending vendors, perhaps? A Guantanamo for tourists who fork out good money on bad souvenirs? Tar-and-feathering on Central Park's Sheep Meadow?

I don't know. I'm all for tacky souvenirs that display a little ingenuity, but something as lame as I (insert destination)… that certainly doesn't deserve to be seen on the streets of a great city like New York.
