MTA's Surrealistic Sickness Poster
New Yorkers—SubTalk time. If, when you step outside in the morning, it's raining generic analgesic tablets, please stay off the trains. It's the best thing. Looks like somebody at the MTA fashions themselves to be a junior art director. Me I would have added a Dali melting clock to represent the billions of hours New Yorkers have lost under water or concrete in unmoving trains. Hey, here's a better way to spend my fare hike, MTA: why don't you hand out aspirin (or better yet, Klonopin) to riders during your frequent fucked-up rush hours? Lastly, that boldface "Take care" at the bottom of the poster may be the most disingenuous thing I've ever read in an ad. Click image for bigger size or jump for the obligatory close-up of the pouring pills.

I am heading to the patent office now to secure my plans for Umbrella Thermometer, oral and rectal versions.

Ha! I didn't even notice the umbrella was a thermometer. Just adds to the surrealism.

in high school, this girl almost killed herself by eating too much asprin. If only she had an umbrella....

In a perfect world, it would read, "Feeling Sick? Stay the fuck home." But no. Damn crybabies in this city.

why, with the stock photos alone, this poster must have cost a fortune to produce.
