YUPPIE LOVE

"The SF weekly has fessed up: A pro-yuppie, "Stop the Hate" rally it advertised in
it's paper was a hoax.In San Francisco's Mission District, tensions have grown
between long-time residents and affluent newcomers, with cars and restaurants.
No yuppie appeared at the faux rally, but most of the local media did- and about
200 counter demonstrators who though it was real. One man grabbed a
megaphone and shouted, "you little yuppie bastards would hop on a plane in a
heartbeat to fight for freedom in Chiapas, but you [expletive deleted] your
neighbors!"
