SFMTA Counters “Savage” Ads
Image by ABC 7 San Francisco
It’s not over yet.
The ad seen above started showing up last week on articulated buses that already carried Pamela Geller’s “Support Israel” ads.
Muni’s response ad reads:
SFMTA policy prohibits discrimination based on national origin, religion, and other characteristics and condemns statements that describe any group as “savages.”
To erase any confusion, there’s a graphic arrow pointing to Geller’s ad.
What do you think of SFMTA’s handling of this whole affair?

Video: Man Learns Why We Stand Under, Not On Top of Bus Shelters
No doubt, it can be boring waiting the bus. But if this utterly asinine cringe-worthy video posted by the Daily Telegraph in Sydney is any indication, sometimes you’re better off just dealing with it and twiddling your thumbs.
