More Art. Fewer Ads.

Posted by mark

On my way to work the other day I saw a Sun Times "We Are Brighter" ad defaced by a culture busting media activist. He or she placed a printed message constructed of black type on white computer paper over the paid piece. It said, "More Art. Less Ads." Then underneath that there was square of cardboard inserted into the metal frame covering the remainder of the Sun Times poster. Here fellow CTA riders encountered the activist's graffiti-type scrawl in black magic marker. How can one blame this concerned person for the suggestion? There ought to be more art inside the gray tube. Art to comfort the cattle, I mean people, being carted daily to their sordid and sometimes noble destinies throughout the city.

Q: "How can one blame this concerned person for the suggestion?"

A: Well, aside from its properly reading "More Art. FEWER Ads."...not at all.
