Calabasas Smoking Circus

The media, both print and television, were out in full force yesterday as the new snti-smoking law took effect in Calabasas. A lot of residence made their way on to the local and national news telecasts and many were quoted in the front page of the Los Agneles Times. The story has made headlines across the globe. The powers that got the ball rolling were sitting in the outdoor area of the Commons waiting for their close ups and fielding calls from the vast media conglomerate. We hope they enjoy the fiteen minutes.

The Calabasas Chronicle did an extremely unscientific poll yesterday at the Commons and found the media's portrayal of the event were was follows.

NBC "everyone is for it."

ABC "it's evenly split."

(hey, we said unscientific). One high school student reported the afternoon rush at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf was smoke free, however the gas fumes from the numerous newsvans were overwhelmingly "smelly". Maybe we can get former Mayor Groveman to ban news vans next.
