And you thought those FBI (female body inspector) hats were terrible. In addition to marveling at that now comparably innocuous message, I’m left wondering why and how time and effort went into this DIY project.

Via Muni rider thinlizzy6669: “‘Your mom fucks like a real pro!! Your dad just lays there taking it in the ass…and crying.’ Wtf??”

OK, would you rather:

Be seated face-to-face with this hat for a realllllly long Muni ride. A 49-Van Ness in rush hour traffic, kind of realllly long ride.

or

Be yelled at or near with similar language for a couple minutes.

Join your fellow Muni riders for a night of stories that can only happen on Muni! Muni Diaries Live is back on Saturday, April 5. Tickets.

In what has to be the oddest most badass public service campaign ever, the Osaka Police Department has been using a man dressed as RoboCop to patrol trains and protect women from handsy men and other train riding perverts. According to Britain’s Daily Mirror, RoboCop can make arrests and also warns passengers to keep an eye on their valuables. Or as the police department’s website puts it: “RoboCop is a hammer of justice to molesters threatening women.” That’s more like it.

Sometimes real life is even better than the movie. Now, if we’d only had RoboCop to deal with the Muni Humper.

Check out the Mirror UK’s site to watch the compelling video.
