MTA Goes From FML To LFM

That was fast. The MTA has already changed their new subway signage (representing the F, M and L lines at 14th Street) so that it doesn't read as an internet meme meaning: "Fuck My Life." So... time to think of a fun meaning for LFM. Anyone?

Some ideas bantered around the office include: "Lord, Fuck Me" and "Lick Fabio's Mullet" (this would also make for a great single-serving site a la Selleck Waterfall Sandwich).

    In MMORPG's the acronym, LFM, is "Looking For More", as in party members.

    The old set of letters weren't even offensive and it would be interpreted among people as a small in joke which is perfectly fine and evens adds character (for some) to the subway system.

    Unbelievable. They actually spent money to fix something that wasn't broken.

    Let's cut back buses and trains & lay off workers, but definitely spend money on stuff nobody cares about. You can't make this stuff up.

    Whoever is in charge should be made to pay for this boondoggle out of their own paycheck.

    @ the MTA worried about stupid signs that mean nothing to most NY'ers.

    I suppose that sign change just cost the MTA about $10,000 when adding up the overtime and the cost of the sign.
