Appetizers

Alright, check this shit out:


Yeah, I know you've seen it before: it's part of the MTA's shock-and-awe campaign against the injustice of a nausea-free morning commute.

Listen: who the FUCK decided to put this shit up on a subway that I gotta stare at first thing in the morning? What, getting up at 6AM to go suck the man's dick for 10 hours ain't bad enough, now I gotta look at mami's chopped-off fingers before I've had my morning coffee?

Questions:

First of all, how the fuck did smoking even do this to the woman? The bitch got lungs in her fingers? Hardly seems like a mainstream enough consequence to use to threaten niggas.

Second of all, it's q3 2008 - does anyone still think smokers don't know smoking is bad for them? Will even one single New Yorker quit smoking because of these nauseating signs??

1: Yo money I cou get a smoke?
2: Nigga you crazy? You seen that subway bitch's fingers?

Third of all, and it's neither here nor there, but I love to think about how they got this photo in the first place:

1: Yo mami, now a ok time to come and take pictures?

2: Oh certainly dears, please come in! Let me fix you some tea.
1: Naw, we straight- uh, ca we just take yo photo realquick?

2: Of course dears, Ethel from the MTA said you'd be by... Well, help yourselves!

1: Could you just uh, hold up yo hands mami?

2: Certainly dear, but whatever for?
3: Cause dem shits is fuc-

1: (Elbowing #3) It's for the uh, anti-smoking campaign that Ethel mentioned?

2: Of course dear; let me hold up my right hand for you- I'm afraid it's in a little bit better shape than m-
3: Nawbitch we need the one wid all dem fingers chopped off son sss-sssss-ssss-sssss

etc etc

Now, even more horrendous is the MTA's support for Bus Drivers Fixin to Make My Nuts Hurt:


SNAP that is FUCKED UP; Still makes me shudder while I'm uploading the image. Lookin all sad and shit? And not only does it hurt to look at, the shit is incredibly exploitive! Put a little deformed baby on the back of a bus?! The fuck is wrong with you.

Yeah, I'm not retarded - I know that these people would claim the moral highground:

So-called Blognigger,

We are attempting to raise awareness of a preventable, treatable condition that is in dire need of private funding. These images, while disturbing, help to draw attention to the suffering of thousands of families in the tri-state area alone whom blahblah-blahblah-dezenuts .

My retort:

Infantopimps,

These images make my nuts hurt and I do NOT want to have to look at them every time I see a bus. You are exploiting helpless children by dragging their deformed shit behind chariots like the vanquished Achilles. Take that shit down NOW.

And damn, compared to fingerlady, it's far more fucked-up to think of how this picture was acquired:

1: Madam, your baby is a monster; can we put him on a bus?
2: (*sob*... BANG!)

...and I'm the insensitive one. Fuck that shit.
brb; fingeraids.

Infantopimps!? Too freakin' funny! Now I gotta spend all day thinkin about how I can work THAT into a casual conversation.

I do agree that those sorts of "awareness raising" campaigns work for shit these days. This chick I work with recently said "Damn, did you hear how much cigarettes are going up!? $10 a pack! I'm quitting for sure now!"

Uhm...

Ok, so the whole cancer, emphysema, bad skin, premature aging, heart attack shit didn't grab you, b/c who gives a shit about your own health, body, etc, but TEN DOLLARS A PACK!? THAT's what puts people over the edge...the all mighty dollar.

Personally, I'm way more influenced by the Dr. Zizmor ads. I cleanse and moisturize my shit up e-v-e-r-y day to avoid lookin' like those pimple faced motherfuckers.

ug, it's so fuckin true. You know, what if these were images of partial-birth abortions deployed by a pro-life group?

Then are they acceptable??

It's disgusting, and manipulative, and makes me not want to support their (otherwise benevolent) goals.

Ok, but how about the many many ads for orthopedic surgery featuring fucked-up feet? At least the amputee's picture was taken by a professional. Staring at multiple badly-photoed bunions and hammertoes is pretty gross too.

Wait. You got eyeballs in your nuts? Now I'm just confused.

@scott

yow, careful Scott- you're starting to sound conspicuously like someone with no nuts.

Scare tactics NEVER work on addicts.
Burgers disease is caused by smoking and it will continue cutting off circulation as long as the person keeps smoking. I worked an emergency clinic where we had a quad amputee- all limbs had been chopped - and the dude still smoked with his stump.

The baby photos are so late-night-guilt TV ads meant for those who are up doing something that they shouldn't. I guess the Ad folks figure all NYer's are doing stuff they feel guilty about hence the widespread campaign. Such crap.

ericF said...

smashbro, lol - I hear ya.

Scott, you really can't relate to feeling some shit like that in the noots?!?!?

word. Those posters are disturbing, they don't work - and prolly make people worse with the power of suggestion. They need to be b&.

Dear Nigger,

Hector's corpse was dragged behind a chariot, not Achilles.

How do you ever expect to earn white people's respect if you can't even get the simple facts of the Iliad right?
