Ice cream is killing people and ruining lives all over Boston. In fact, there is no greater threat to the city's public safety than these ice cream trucks of frosty death.

Well, not counting getting gunned down in front of your house because you decided to walk outside at noon in the middle of a summer day to get some ice cream. That's public safety threat #1 but ice cream trucks are a close #2.

Boston City Councilor Sal LaMattina hasn't been getting his normal amount of beauty sleep because of those bastard ice cream trucks and will be holding hearings today on, I swear to God, "whether ice cream trucks should be forced to go back to tingling bells rather than bellowing tunes"

That's right. Today in Boston City Hall which is located in Boston which is reputed to be one of America's great cities, the City Council will be spending time debating ice cream trucks rather than say stuff like violence or housing or property tax rates or job creation or transportation. You know, because ice cream trucks and their blaring music of death is why Bostonians need City Councilors.

Though it wouldn't be right to rip on the City Council and then ignore one of its members that at least took the time to provide a great quote on Ice Cream Truckgate. Councilor Stephen Murphy on the ice cream truck noise-

“Yeah, it’s annoying. But not as annoying as gunshots.”
