Boys and girls, It’s time again for SubTalk with the MTA! Track fires! Danger! Delays. To get the word out, the crafty Authority has crafted this helpful new subway car card ad featuring a shot of the first edition of the non-existent Subway Gazette. Get the irony? FAKE newspapers don’t create litter. And look how stiff that paper is—nice Photoshopping! New Yorkers of course already know what’s to blame for the increase in track fires over the last few years: the shitty free Metro NY and amNewYork rags handed out at subway station entrances. “Newspapers and subway tracks are not a good combination,” said Steven A. Feil, Senior Vice President of NYC Transit’s Department of Subways in the press release. Yes, much like advertising and the MTA.
