$newsid = ''; ?> The New Yorker reports on the Car Talk guys' anti-SUV campaign. (It should be noted that Tom and Ray Magliozzi own and produce their show and sell it to NPR, so they're free to use their own names to promote causes.) The profile reveals that they're not just anti-SUV -- Tom doesn't own a car at all.
NPR's paranoia has struck again: when a yogurt maker promoting the campaign put NPR's name on its packaging, NPR complained, resulting in 3.1 million yogurt lids in urgent need of recycling. Tom and Ray are soliciting ideas and list the best so far on their website.
