‘All City’ Gives Vallone Something to Hate
As we predicted, Peter Vallone Jr. is no fan of All City NRG and he’s back on the stump saying so. The Queens Councilmember believes the ripped off, graffiti themed packaging on the energy drink promotes vandalism, and not one to miss an opportunity to hate on graffiti, Vallone held a press conference yesterday to attack the drink and its manufacturer Arizona.
“How low can a company go in search of profits? What’s next, are they going to have an energy drink called Car Jack?”
“If this drink was called ‘pickpocket pickup,’ and had pictures of criminals lifting wallets, wouldn’t people be offended?”
Vallone held the press conference outside a Queens store, the one and only, that has pulled the drink from shelves and hopes others follow suit, saying, “Don’t stock Arizona, don’t buy Arizona. This company is despicable and it doesn’t deserve to make a profit by glorying crime.” Unfortunately for Vallone, this attack will probably help boost those profits.

Why is Vallone wasting time on this? He should be focused on winning New York City secession from the state.

Wow. It’s scary when politicians care about such BS.
My favorite line from the NY1 article….
“It’s just a can,” said one young resident. “People are trying to get their energy on.”
Respect to that. I just want to get my energy on.
