With 7-Elevens in NYC, how would we ever know about these 'Hangover Part II' promos?

The 'NYPD Rapists' flyer campaign

Someone has been posting these flyers of Kenneth Moreno and Franklin Mata, the two NYPD officers acquitted last week of charges of raping an East Village woman.

I spotted the flyers along the Bowery and Second Avenue... these were outside the Mars Bar...

The Voice has more on Friday's protest downtown. The Post has the latest ugly turn in the case today, in which the ex-wife of Moreno calls the rape accuser "a money-grubbing liar."

Reminders: The Loisaida Festival is today

And we're hopeful that you didn't leave your cab parked here. It's getting towed.
