I don't know what they were thinking, but Keith Olbermann has named the Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting the "Worst Persons in the World":
But our winner, Julianne Cho, Associate Commissioner of the Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting for New York City.
She's written an email indicating the city's pushing for new rules that would require any group of two or more people who want to film, videotape or take still pictures in a public place in New York for 30 minutes or more have to get a city permit and have to get a million dollars in liability insurance.
If it is a group of 5 people and a tripod, the time frame drops to ten minutes.
And even though the new regulations don't mention any exemptions, the city claims this would not affect amateurs or tourists.
Of course it won't.
There's still a Constitution of the United States, Miss Cho, and these rules are so obviously in violation oof so much of it, Alberto Gonzales wouldn't try to sneak them past anybody.
