Empire State Building rejects USMC


Today is the 233 Birthday of the United States Marine Corps.

The Empire State Building administration, the same people that lit the building up in honor of the Muslims found this celebration too trivial.

"...The building's color scheme, of course, changes on nearly a nightly basis. So far this year, it's been lit up to celebrate the Cat Fancier's Association's annual Cat Championship; Mariah Carey's latest album, and the 58th anniversary of the European Union - just to name a few, er, momentous occasions..."

On October 10 2007, New York's iconic Empire State Building was litup green in honor of the Muslim holiday of Eid, the biggestfestival in the Muslim calendar marking the end of Ramadan according to AFP.

    Hi Dave!

    I went thru the rigamarole and wrote the Empire State Building. I'm sure I'll get some standard boilerplate reply, but I did contact them.

    Hope you're doing well. It was nice to see you in chat the other nite.
