New York Daily News - Home - Ugly sign misses the mark in subway
and while both the writers and readers of the daily news make me question the general intelligence of the general population, i do enjoy a good quote or two from a random idiot. witness below. someone hacked their way into one of the mta's mostly useless signs, all jenny holzer-like, informing us all that "PRETTY GIRLS DON'T RIDE THE SUBWAY". ha. funny. good.
maybe getting interviewed by a reporter makes you automatically sound stupid, but something tells me these people couldn't hold a conversation with a sandwich.
The boards usually flash public service messages reminding parents to hold their tykes' hands on escalators and to fold up strollers.
Some riders at the busy hub that serves seven lines took offense, while others laughed it off.
"It's a vicious lie," said Rachel Russell, 37, an East Village arts-program coordinator, mostly in jest. "I think someone is trying to be clever."
Lucia Morales, 31, a social worker from East New York, Brooklyn, was waiting for a downtown A train to take her home from celebrating a promotion.
"That's horrible," she said of the sign. "I'm pretty, and I take the subway every day."
Nick Bello, 57, a technical representative from Brooklyn, said he has seen proof that the message is wrong. "It's very strange," he said. "I see a lot of pretty girls on the subway."
Actress Katharyn Bond, 33, of the upper West Side, who was wearing a little black dress with heels and a pink shawl, was taking the subway to a theater to see a play. "Pretty women," she said, "take the subway so we can go spend money on more important things - like alcohol."
something tells me lucia's lying, katharyn would be fun to hang out with, and the person who did this should do it more often.
also, what's a tyke?
