We all remember the mooninites and Star Simpson. Now Boston can add another dummy debacle to its resume. Mannequins are the latest threat to our safety; specifically, mannequins who like the environment, and are chained (bike-locked, it appears—damn hippies) to banks in protest. As global warming might melt their plastic bodies, it is understandable that mannequins want climate justice. Still, we are skeptical that anyone, mannequin or otherwise, would be able to focus on the economy or the climate a week before Opening Day, and suspect that this mannequin a foreign import. At least it only caused a brief bank closure and was cleaned up in an hour and a half, unlike its animated cousins—who, thanks to Jezebel, now know how to dress for their shape (hint: invest in a good bag to carry your often-unwieldy quad laser).
