We usually hate activisty-types, with their earnest sermons and inconvenient dietary restrictions and the way they leave the pillows on the guest futon permanently patchouli-scented when they come to visit. Ew! But we have found ourselves cottoning to the message of one particular group of protestors: the righteous individuals at nonprofit group Take Back New York. These courageous bloggers have an odd, but charming, mission and enough free time on their hands to photoshop wooden clogs onto the Naked Cowboy's feet — a winning combination. Anyway, their point is that New York should revert to the control of its original colonizer: The Netherlands. We're not so sure about replacing hot dogs with herring, but we can get behind at least one aspect of the takeover.
