Poster Boy's latest.

Handmade sticker on the F line.

BAMN and CASH4 hit a huge wall off the J train.

Truth in advertising.

It’s not this dude’s grin, or the subject that bothers me; it’s the quotes.

Something amazing happened after Moustache Man’s arrest—some awesome person or persons took to the subway and scrawled “solidarity” onto upper lips of ads. I am truly touched.

 

More after the jump!

I wholeheartedly agree. Don’t you wish people came w/such warning labels?

This ad was asking for it, wasn’t it? Thanks for stepping up, Moustache Man!

It looks like Showtime has finally come to terms with the fact that they are the official softcore porn cable channel and are changing the names of their programs to reflect this revelation.

Thanks Halston!

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!
