rug based anti-development humor

your ikea rug can be used to make a statement and i don't mean the usual home-accent-kind. see how joseph of save serene lakes have cleverly used this rug to further his cause.

"we bought the lekplats rug for our elderly dog, and then were inspired by how much it looked like the development plan being proposed for transforming the royal gorge cross country resort (on donner summit, near lake tahoe, CA) into a mega-condo land. the developers have been keeping their latest plans private, hence the 'find'. this has gone out to an extensive mailing list of concerned people.
