The giant rat has seemingly worn out its welcome in New York City. According to an organizer from the Carpenters local, the rat became a turn-off with the general public, not garnering the attention the union had hoped. What to do instead? The union has launched a new strategy: blowing whistles for 2 solid hours while walking the picket line. City dwellers are not charmed, but when an attempt was made to call in the disturbance, the caller was told not to hold their breath – the racket would probably subside before they could arrive, and besides, there was an 8-hour window on a noise complaint. Most would probably welcome back the inflatable rat – at least he was easier to ignore! If you want to hear what all that noise sounds like, watch a few seconds of the video available on the link.
