I'm more annoyed by boneheads who post multiple threads on the same subject. It's bad enough this site has slowed to a near crawl. Now I'm seeing someone litter their childish rants about tourists all over the boards.

Grow up dammit!

Yes.

People come to Philadelphia for an experience that they can't have in their own town. Can someone ride down the street in an amphibious vehicle while listening to YMCA and quacking at pedestrians in Malvern? I live right along their route and it never bothers me. Let them have fun...and spend $.

Of all the things to blog about...

I'm of two minds vis-a-vis the ducks. On the one hand, I understand they're part of the tourist industry, and Philly needs tourist dollars like any other city.

On the other hand, I do get incredibly annoyed when I'm sitting outside reading the paper or drinking coffee on South Street, and a huge duck-mobile stops right in front of me blasting music while 8 year olds quack their stupid whistles.

I don't think your protest will amount to much. They're not going away. Your better strategy might be to persuade the operators to turn down the music and not hand out quack whistles. They may actually respond to this. You may even get businesses on board if you take that approach.

Thanks montrose! I appreciate your words. Actually I am trying to do what you suggested, get them to turn down the music, stop taunting people, and treat us with some respect! Thanks!

Walt are you really 39?

I think they're fun as hell, and a nice reminder that people like to come to this city and have fun.

We've got a murder epidemic going on, some of the dirtiest streets in the country, rampant homelessness, oppressive business taxes, and still people want to come visit and have fun.

Find a real cause, and let's be thankful for the damn ducks!
