This is good news ! Now I can slip on a "J" train rubber and go for or a "Hoe ride" ! It brings a whole new meaning to the term "Running the train "

I applaud the MTA for lending itself to something CREATIVE for once! Seriously, when the I hear the same recorded anouncement 7 times in a row, I want to blow my head off. I'm so SICK of hearing the phrase "suspicious package." Let's change it to mean "a boy that falls short of the mark?" Example: I inspected his SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE! Was hoping he'd be a grower, (since he's not a show-er) but he's not! It was the way it looked in jeans that threw me off! And yay for free condoms, but if they could just give out free rides on the actual TRAINS, I would then be overjoyed!

This is a great initiative. The Department of Health should be applauded for their recent work.

And how many people will be channeling the token booth employees by falling asleep once they get off and the train pulls out of the station?

And I would guess that women who rely on subway-themed condoms can expect to be late on a regular basis.

So is "Taking a ride on the F Train" now an acceptable euphemism?

REALITY CHECK

"You know it's good quality, and you know it's a name you can trust." "Quality" associated with the MTA's Subway system? This could arguably raise concerns that the condom might stop working during the least convenient time.

Dear 19 year old Johnnie Brown: as "profusely" means pouring forth liberally, I sincerely hope that is not how you use NYC Condoms, as that is generally what they're meant to prevent.
