Meanwhile, back in Gotham , New York City mayor and former presidential non-candidate Michael Bloomberg is nearly losing his mind trying to get Plaxico Burress in jail, as illegally carrying a loaded handgun carries a mandatory 42-month prison sentence if convicted. The hospital that treated Plaxico suspended the employee responsible for not reporting the gunshot wound (as required by law), and has launched its own investigation. But the mayor isn’t satisfied; in fact, he’s also doling out blame to the Giants organization:
[...]Bloomberg also complained that the Giants “should have picked up the phone right away as good corporate citizens. I don’t care whether there’s a legal responsibility for them to do it. They are a team that is here in this region. I know they’re in New Jersey, but it’s the New York Giants, and they have a responsibility as a team that depends on the public and wants to be role models to the public.”
Good corporate citizens don’t really exist, except in fairy tales about corporations. You know, the story of Cinderella was orignally about a third-shift cleaning lady that got plowed in the copy room and then went on to become CEO of the company in that buiding. Man, those corporate Chistmas parties are networking gold mines if you play your cards right.


Bloomberg’s just pissed that they were smoking indoors.
Undoubtedly if Plax is in jail, Smoove “Money” G will think twice about skinning that smoke wagon when he’s slanging the rock.
He knows they’re in New Jersey? That’s weird, I didn’t think the gays followed football.
Bloomberg just feels that monkeys should be kept in cages if they behave badly. What’s wrong with that?
I know this isn’t the place to go on a Luddite/Marxist rant, but I’m gonna do it anyways. Few terms piss me off more than “good corporate citizens.” Fuck that. A corporation isn’t a citizen. A corporation isn’t even a person. A corporation is a non-sentient organism with infinite growth potential whose lifeblood is money, and it would not hesitate for a single second to slaughter you and your entire family if it were possible to do so for profit and thus sustain itself.
Bloomberg would have been OK with Plax had he just purchased a silencer, loudener, speed caulker, and a scope that helps shoot down police helicopters.
Zack, consider Ritalin and/or anger management.
Also, Bloomberg is an asshat. That is all.
This coming from a mayor who wanted to change laws to run for extra terms.
this is what happens when the kid who was always picked last in kickball grows up to be mayor
