Worldwide BP Protest Unfolds At New York Times Building

A worldwide protest of BP planned for 52 cities across five continents took place this afternoon in New York City at The New York Times building on 8th avenue.

A passerby walked by and wondered why people were protesting at The New York Times instead of BP headquarters. "They must have offices here in Manhattan," he suggested.

It's not clear if BP has offices in Manhattan. The number listed here is disconnected. Either way, the curious onlooker continued: "You know where Joe Biden is? At the World Cup. That's the change we voted for."
