I work in advertising and I like the whole campaign. Everyone notices them and I think they are visually pleasing. I admit, it's stupid on Fallon's part not to check these things out, but c'mon, they are lighthearted, silly and refreshing.

I was wondering when they were going to notice that stupid "hammock" ad. Isn't there someone at the MTA to approve these ads *before* they put them up?

I was wondering how it would be til someone complained. The fly fishing one was especially dumb.

No surprise if the ads suck-we used to use Fallon NY and MSP as our agency...note the words: "used to..."

Looks like they also encourage that subversive illegal pantless activity.

My buddy in from out of town was ticketed 2 nights ago at 2:30 am on a TOTALLY empty G train for having his feet on the seat. It has begun.

I thought the ad was amusing, but you KNOW some dumbass is going to attempt it and lose a limb.

According to WNYC this morning, the subway snorkeling ads are also getting pulled because they promote walking between cars, which is now illegal.

If they are going to have whole cars for Budlight and Alizé (sp?) ads, shouldn't they have whole cars dedicated to Promises and Bettey Ford ads as well?

the graphics are nice. the how-to concept is sucky. And as a former fallon person, I can say that was prolly what they were shooting for.

one of the ads: "making a hammock" is illegal too. not to mention, who wants to lay down on dirty subway seats?
