Now a third man has climbed the new New York Times building, reports the New York Times, although not with the exasperated C'mon, you guys! Stop it! tone you might expect. Instead, they're going the uhh...oops route, and acknowledging that the decision by architect Renzo Piano to encase the building in a gazillion horizontal ceramic rods (intended to let in sunlight and keep out heat) might not have been 100% thought through.
It may be eco-friendly, but it's also just a little too convenient for all the activists out there who want nothing more than an iconic building from which to unfurl spray-painted banners.

1. You know something Ada, if the NYT's doesn't start taking this seriously and start putting up a baracade of some sort, someone will eventually fall to their death.
Now it doesn't bother me that the NYT's will get their pants sued off when this happens. But the Times is shrewd enough to drag NYC into the suit and the tax payers of NY will pay.
