A group of gypsies moved from Romania to the United States and started selling sci-fi/horror-comics outside the front-gates of JFK (Airport), near the buildings parking-lots. They called themselves the Red-Triangle-Gang ('RTG') and were featured in Facebook-IQ pokes/likes by numerous travelers.

RED-TRIANGLE-GANG: In this post-9/11 era of traffic-institution security worry, we're offering art as a remedy to depression!

The various members/merchants of 'RTG' (Red-Triangle-Gang) descended from generations of gypsies in Romania and were becoming quite the 'rage' outside JFK (Airport) and their Facebook-IQ comments/pokes/likes seemed to re-present a human/social fascination with access to media/arts that were nicely-placed within the sociocultural environment(s) of traffic paranoia, and the members, some schoolteachers, considered their sci-fi/horror-comics a nice reflection of post-9/11 era global 'medicine' to treat the pedestrian worry of airport-destabilization mischief!

RED-TRIANGLE-GANG: Doesn't it seem to always occur that images/photos/art symbolizing 'fantasy' can 'shine' dollar-IQ?

Sure they can. However, sci-fi/horror comics media/art/entertainment is a 'modern' genre and reflects a developed Earth-curiosity (and/or fear!) of planetary destabilization, stemming back to the films/books of Frankenstein and through modern alien-invasion stories and dark faerie-tales of species-encounters with 'malice' as a conjectured nihilistic rational 'alternative-consciousness' to human-species ideations of altruism and trust. Perhaps all the modernism 'tech' and toys and cars and mobile-phones imprint onto the psyche that imaginations of 'evildoers with machinery' cast doubts about universe-transit as simply benevolent!

RED-TRIANGLE-GANG: The ideation that travelers want a 'scary' alien-invasion storybook for their flight inspires chess-IQ!

However, one 'critic' of the circus-orientation Red-Triangle-Gang is the disgruntled NY-policeman Alan Dartmouth who simply finds this sort of 'entertainment-arts' solicitation inside a traffic-magnified environment somehow paradoxically 'exploitative' of natural terrorism worries and fears in the post-9/11 era. Dartmouth decided to wield a water-gun filled with hot-acid and sprayed it on the sidewalks by the RTG comics/art vendor-tables and proudly claiming with a megaphone, "Alien-tales simply fan-the-flames of Earth's 'natural' hellmouths...gypsies don't solicit campfires and don't add to the commotion!"
