Have you seen those Jameson ads on the subway? Have they been making you feel like you've had one too many? Seems the inaccurate wording has some straphangers puzzled, specifically the part that reads: "there are 9 wrong ways to swipe your subway card." Let's ignore the fact that no one calls a MetroCard a subway card, and take a look at what one reader had to say:

It's been bothering me for weeks; the Jameson ads that claim that there are nine wrong ways to swipe a Metrocard. False...there will never be exactly 9 ways to swipe a MetroCard.
The reader also sent along a diagram, which found 15 ways to wrongly swipe a MetroCard (see the "math" after the jump), and asked if we could "publicly humiliate whoever is responsible for such foolishness." Seems some have been trying to do just that since March, but the wrongly worded ads are still running. What gives Jameson? Next you'll tell commuters they've only got 25 ways to leave their lovers?
