"A horrible person". That's what it says. "A horrible person."

We weren't even testing for that.

Advertising at public transit stations tend to be ones that are really useless there.

Like, advertising for a radio station. Well, if you use public transit, you're most likely not going to have a radio with you. Yet, I see this everywhere for some reason.

Dating search ads are also useless, since a large percentage of people who use public transit are children, who have no use for this.

Ooh, and the annoying movie ads... the ones with the goofy characters making gaping expressions at nothing...

They just irritate me.

I've seen car ads before, which kind of makes sense.

I remember Game Boy Color ads.

One of them was for Wario Land 2. Confused the hell out of me, when I first saw it.

I hope that's real. If nothing else, I wanna see the idiot who (if they really) got killed by this ad on 1,000 Ways to Die.

I think it's a scientific test to see if Darwin was right

I've seen ads on buses that cover the whole bus. One made it look like a school bus. The problem with that is that people might think it is a school bus and not a city bus

I would just bring a backhoe and pull the whole thing out, then figure out how to get in. If it was real money.

Around here, a lot of the bus ad space inside the actual bus is instead taken up by instructions on how to ride the bus in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, or whatever.

I've seen those in Boston too... I find them pretty annoying, not that buses are that aesthetically please to begin with, but come on.

And it makes it harder to see out the windows when you're inside one, too.

Yeah, some of these cover windows people need to see out of, too. They can become a real nuisance.

I've seen them, too, and even been on them.

The windows can be seen outside fairly easily, actually... surprised me, initially.

5405		I've seen those ads that cover the buses too... mostly radio station ads

Also stuff like "Don't Drink and Drive" (why would you need that if you don't drive?), car dealers, newspapers, propane companies, etc.

It's kind of weird. Here, they cover up all the windows. And again, with movie characters.

Why always pixar/dreamworks ads? I don't know.

The ironic thing is, Mercedes-Benz is the main competitor of Kässbohrer GmbH, the manufacturer of the bus depicted.

Kinda funny seeing this ad on this vehicle.
