Muni Adbusted Yet Again: Du Beers

jeff — Thu, 17 May 2012 00:29:03 +0000

Well lookee there. What started out as a one-off Tuesday morning on Muni Diaries seems to be in the midst of going viral locally.

Previously, we brought you “Cum Tums” and “Fartine.” The local internet happened upon another: an ad for “Du Beers”(diamonds), with the adbusted ad slogan, “Slanging blowjobs since 1927.” That’s a lot of diamonds, a lot of money, and a lot of blowjobs. Eighty-five years’ worth, in fact.

It’s becoming clear that this is a concerted effort by someone or some group. Maybe the assholes who smashed windows in the Mission a couple of weeks ago have taken up non-violent protest? In any case, carry on, y’alls!

Step right up, boys and girls. Guess the most inaccuracies in the photo and you win … a giant stuffed Muni bear*?

No, really though, see how many of signage inaccuracies in Octoferret‘s photo you can spot.

* When we really have a stuffed Muni bear, we’ll let you know.

Muni Adbusters Strike Again

jeff — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:56:15 +0000

Yesterday, we saw them take on antacid and, well, everyone’s sex lives. This time, it’s local pretentious/delicious eateries. What’s next?

The “ad” reads: “Fartine Bakery Cafe. Wait in line five hours to buy a fucking donut.”

Bone to pick: They’re pastries, not donuts.

Today, SFMTA reminds us of some upcoming service disruptions on several lines.

Construction for the Church and Duboce Track and Street Improvement Project and the Carl Street Rail Replacement Project will require bus shuttle substitution on the N-Judah Line, disruption to the J-Church Line, reroutes of several bus routes and traffic detours over multiple days…

… the multi-day shutdown is slated to begin at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 25, and end at 5 a.m. on Monday, June 4. It will require a shutdown of the N-Judah Line, a partial shutdown of the J-Church and reroutes on the 22-Fillmore, 37-Corbett, 43-Masonic and N-Owl routes…

Summary of transit and traffic impacts:
· The N Judah will be shutdown with substitute bus service provided from Ocean Beach to Van Ness Avenue.
· The bus service will vary between weekdays and weekends
· NX service unchanged
· J Church Line to operate between Balboa Park and Market/Church streets
· Major reroute of the 22 Fillmore
· Other minor reroutes of 37 Corbett, 43 Masonic and N Owl service
· Residents, merchants and Muni customers can also expect street and bike lane closures and detours during the construction.
· Bike detours will be in place for the Wiggle, the Steiner/Sanchez route and the connector route between the Wiggle and Market Street.
· Parking restrictions will be in effect.
· Traffic control officers and police officers will direct traffic at critical intersections.
· Noise and dust will be controlled in adherence with city codes.
· Electronic messaging boards will be used in affected areas to alert motorists and cyclists of detours.

More details of this “long shutdown” can be found on SFMTA’s website. Plan accordingly!

@dougrobbin found this ad on Muni. To which we say, of course he found this ad on Muni. I can certainly think of a few people who might need them.

Speaking of, move over, Cum Tums. You could earn a spot on a Muni ad by participating in our 100 Days, 100 Muni Stories drive. Send us your Muni story — from the past or present — today.

Muni Comic: Dougie’s Got Your Back

Here’s something kind of crazy that happened to Michael Capozzola, who decided to illustrate his bus ride in a three-part comic. Michael, who also wrote “People You Might Know on Muni,” was on the 48-Quintara when he was introduced to “Dougie.” See what happened then.
