NEW YORK CITY (FNN 24/7) -- Thousands gathered outside the United Nations and Columbia University Monday to protest the appearance of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Many protesters carried signs, nearly all of which were misspelled.

Signs such as "Akkmadidadood = EVIL," "Ackmoodidajob is Worse Than Moosaleenee," and "Yabbadabbadoodyhead is a Hollowcost Denyer," reflected both the passionate opinions people hold about Iran's leader and the reality that he has a difficult to spell last name.

Several signs contained crossed-out attempts, most which ultimately referred to him as some variation of "Iranian Guy." One sign spelled his name correctly, but erroneously insisted that he "Go Back to Egypt."

"I can't believe we're giving a man who allows no voices of dissent in his own country a forum to speak in ours," said New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn. "What's next? Will we tell Chairman Meow he can speak here too?"
