TRUST

[marcusmarcusrc]

Does it strike other people as ironic that the new T litter campaign... er, safety campaign... involves flyers with the word "TRUST" prominently displayed, but that the point of the flyers is in fact that we should be distrustful?

fyi, the flyer says "see something? say something. transit watch. TRUST your instincts and be prepared" with TRUST in a font about three times the size of everything else.

(note that this is not a statement on the appropriateness of a "watch your neighbor" motto as I haven't fully formed an opinion yet, but just on the irony. Though comments on said (in)appropriateness are welcome)

I'm overcome by their slogan, "See something? Say something." Now I can't stop saying over and over again, "I see something." I should learn not to listen to everything I read.
