You are “morally obliged” to refrain from replying?
Why? What did say which is in any way out of line
EXCEPT among the elements responsible for our
country’s moral decline….

And, just to be clear, it IS the height of outrageous
Western society being off the tracks when its perfectly
PC reasonable to crash the station of native
born western women while eastern women are
Zealously potected by their families/husbands/
Communities. An example of which we’re apparently
Seeing here….

“Humor is immoral” (?!?) Well so are the practices
of many institutions behaviors we 100% Don’t need
In the Heights…especially during a time of not a
little crisis like now

If it were my mother or daughter, I’d be proudly shouting it from the rooftops.

I am a woman, and I think Misty Copeland – and her appearance in the ad, in her leotard – is BEAUTIFUL. Instead of “demeaning all women”, I find it to be empowering. How fantastic to feature a strong, successful woman who doesn’t fit the Victoria’s Secret/Hollywood stereotype. I hope it inspires young girls and lets them know that even if they’re not a blonde twig, they are worth being celebrated!

Also, I can’t believe I’m feeding the (suspected) troll. =/ Ah well, slow morning at work.

In years past we had a similar problem with a neighbor’s corner lot. It turned out the property manager didn’t know the building staff was only cleaning snow in front of the building and neglecting the sidewalk around the corner…also their responsibility.

Fortunately, we were able to get the phone number of the property manager; once alerted, the problem disappeared.

It sounds like you’re describing the building on block 208 lot 501 in Brooklyn. According to ACRIS the owner is 10 Montague Terrace Owners Corp. and NYS shows the contact is a Brooklyn attorney, George M. Spanakos.

The attorney should be able to tell you who’s responsible. Good luck!

As I wrote before, I am weary of how women are usually depicted wearing much less than men. Are women only worth depicting if they show off their bodies? (I’ll give ballerinas something of a pass here.)

I didn’t want to directly reply to some of your points, Heights Correspondent, because you make some good points on other issues, but your comments on the Corcoran photos seem very … umm … culturally biased. I am morally obliged to NOT reply to your previous comments because I found them sadly bigoted. You have every right to have your opinion, but I don’t want to debate you on those terms.

it’s not the only thing you got wrong, troll.

She dresses like a senior-class student going to school at Packer. Ha.

I personally would be exceptionally proud if the woman in this ad were a family member of mine. The intent of this ad is to celebrate the beauty of the human form. There is nothing vulgar or Immoral at play here.

I agree – – More nude men are definitely needed!

Haha – – Im not there in the mornings, but I do hear it in the afternoons. I like her though – – she is a good woman who takes her job seriously.

Thanks – I wasn’t sure if it was the building or not. If I called 311 and it’s the city, well then… :) Maybe someone from the building will see this post and just clear it…wishful thinking?
