Yippies Denied Bomb'g Permit
In their first dealing with the city of Detroit, under the heavy hand of newly-elected Mayor Roman S. Gribbs, the Youth International Party was denied a permit to demolish the General Motors Building. The Parkin’ Meter Yippies requested the permit “so as not to inconvenience anyone who might wish to be using the building.” Citing the many ecological, political and social offenses committed by General Motors on the peoples of the world, the Yippies respectfully requested the permit last Tuesday.
It was denied Thursday.
“Hell, grumbled Yippie Spokesman Jumpin’ Jack Flash, “it ain’t fair. You gotta be a corporation or a country to go around blowing shit up. I mean, G.M. is clogging up Amerika’s lungs, they’re keeping South Afrfca alive by squashing black people and they make crummy cars. They go around defying government orders. We don’t do that.”
A spokesman for the City Clerk’s office (who declined" to give his name) asked, “Who would want to do that.”
When told that the Yippies were interested, he replied, “How can they get a permit to do something as silly as that? Things like that are done On the sly.” _
