The good people of the NYC subreddit appreciated this facebook status/comment exchange between myself and a friend, so I imagine you will too!

These sinister stickers from 6th Avenue station seem to suggest that actors, accountants and even journalists are not human. It’s either a warning message sent back in time by John Connor . . . or some talented sticker-making satirists.
The proportionality of the cyborg eye vis-a-vis Jason Sudeikis’s face is a particularly nice touch.
The suggestion that newscasters are secretly cyborgs is unsettlingly credible.
This sticker was discovered on the L line. It’s particularly appropriate for tax season, when all of us feel at the mercy of some inhuman machine . . .
If anyone knows anything about these clever little stickers, please get in touch with us!

When tourists come to the Big Apple, sometimes they are oblivious to our cultural habits. It may be socially acceptable to smile at strangers in places like Florida or California or Chicago or the rest of the country, but not here. Please allow us to read our copy of The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest minus the creepout. If you plan on visiting New York, please be sensitive to our needs.
It looks like the individual responsible for this friendly reminder is the same one responsible for the Please do not feed rats after midnight sign from a couple weeks ago. Thanks again to Vince for the tip!

Photographer Kate Sokoler reports from the L train: just in time for the most depressing day of the year, the act of love is now permitted in the subway! Sadly, smoking and littering are still against the rules. Better luck next year litterbugs and smokeybears.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

It blends in just like the sticker we reported on a couple weeks ago! Unlike that one, though, the text of the sticker above begs for attention. “Look at me” it demands. Even if you do look at it, you might miss the really small web address on the bottom right corner. Lookatmenyc.com is the site, which includes a photo slideshow of “look at me” stickers placed around the city and a form to leave a comment. That’s it. Pretty cryptic.
