    Union Cries Foul in Wal-Mart Sign Fight By STEVEN GREENHOUSE, The New York Times
    The image planned for the anti-Wal-Mart billboard was unusual - a fire-breathing Godzilla standing next to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge - and the language was strong: 'The Wal-Monster will destroy Staten Island businesses and devastate our quality of life.'

    But New Yorkers may never see the billboard, which was supposed to go up on the island, because Clear Channel, the giant radio network that also runs an outdoor advertising company, has rejected it, saying its image and language are too inflammatory.
