A friend of mine sent me this photo from the Clarendon Metro station this morning. Here’s her commentary:
I don’t recall ever seeing an actual ad saying “go to hell Bush,” even when he was selected, & even when he lied (yellowcake, etc.)… Certainly not on the metro – which is obviously desperate for funds so as not to impose any basic standards. I’m surprised they didn’t use the f word…
Btw, someone wrote – in PEN on the “screen” of the light-up board: “That’s President Obama, to you!” Wish my camera had enough resolution to get that!
Again, the ad is heinous enough, but Metro accepted it? I mean, I know they’re desperate for money, but WTF?!?!?
P.S. Just to be clear, an ad saying “Go to hell Cantor” or “Go to hell Boehner” would NOT be acceptable to me, and it shouldn’t be in the Metro system, at least based on my reading of Metro’s advertising guidelines (not to mention Metro’s desire to keep its system family friendly), as far as I can determine.
UPDATE: No, Kaplan Post and WTOP, you may NOT steal this photo you @#$@#$ers. Take it down immediately, give proper credit, or I’m calling a lawyer!
