I guess I know why the SFMTA, America’s worst and slowest large transit agency, wants to spend millions and millions of taxpayer dollars to improve its image. So it will then be able to obtain and spend even more of our money, of course.
But I’m mystified as to the thought process behind its marketing.
For example, here’s a happy meter maid saying, ”I am a single mom working to send my child to private school. I am SFMTA.”

So the San Francisco Unified School District is that bad, huh?
OK fine.
(TRIGGER WARNING, Lookism: And she’s not a model, she’s a Real Person, an actual DPT Parking Control Officer? Latina/a, just a guess. Very attractive/appealing, huh? How did she get selected? Does someone at at the SFMTA’s in-house agency thumb through a bunch of PCO headshots saying, ” …pooch, dog, I-don’t-think-so, oh-now-here-we-go?” Is that how it works, something along those lines? Funny that, SFMTA.)
If I were the SFMTA, I’d take this ad down and never run it again.
If I were the SFMTA…
Actually, if I were the SFMTA, I’d stop lying to people.
I’d say, “The Central Subway is mostly about pork barrel spending.”
If I were the SFMTA…

Add this one to the list of crimes from DAVID KAY JEWELERS:
“You won’t get jealous when your friend gets the newer smaller version”

(Oh, and BTW, the offensive ad here isn’t “anti-gay” not at all.
To say so is ignorant.
But it is anti other things, I’ll grant you that.)
In closing, diamonds are horrible. Get anything else but a diamond. People will figure this out soon enough and the worthless piece of rock on your finger will be even more worthless a couple decades from now.
And more importantly, it will be seen by others as worthless.
Oh well.

I think I also saw another one about how you, the rich, hetero male, should be embarrassed if your daughter’s diamond ring is bigger than your current wife’s.
Not sure.
Anyway, the San Francisco Egotist has beaten me to the punch,* so head over there to get the low down.

NB: IRL, diamonds are worthless – prices are propped up by the industry. Oh well.
*Condescending! Douchebaggy! Regrettable!

I ask you, what kind of message does the SFMTA send out when it green-lights stuff like this?
Something like “We’ll do anything for money?”

Is this how MUNI envisions its passengers, you know, just staring off into The Future?

You know, like this?

So here’s the question – what would you do if you were at the Bay to Breakers party and a cop tries to take away your beer or make you pour it out? Would you:
1. Grudgingly comply; or
2. Assume a fighting posture not unlike that of that leprechaun from Notre Dame and then start yelling, “Tase me, bro!”
If you answered 1, then you’ve got no worries, Bro-ham.
Click here to learn about the legalities of BtoB and click here to learn about the practicalities (“Why You Should Crash the Bay to Breakers Even Though It’s Sold-Out“) of BtoB.
See you there!

Uh oh, this is new for 2011 at the annual Bay to Breakers street party:
“Installation of fencing along the portion of the race beside the Panhandle will begin at 12:01am on race day”
What will the fence be made of? Mmmmm….
Will it be an impenetrable paywall such that spectators (and non-spectators) won’t be able to get from the north side of Fell Street to the south side of Fell Street for hours and hours?
Did the residents sign off on this? Don’t think so. Appears as if the Great Fence of the 94117 is the brainchild of the co-sponsoring Western Addition / Inner Sunset NIMBY groups what are partially in charge of the show this year, you know, along with the “owner” of BtoB, that guy that supported anti-gay Proposition 8 even though he doesn’t live in California. Isn’t that funny?
Actually, most of the people who live near the Panhandle aren’t the rich, uptight, old, white, homeowners that the MSM loves to quote all the time.
Typical non-NIMBYs of the Panhandle area having a good time and drinking on a dreaded sunny day. See how non-uptight and non-judgmental they are?

Anyway, let’s hope the new fencing doesn’t kill anybody…

Now this officer hanging about the award-winning urban planning fiasco know as the Central Freeway and the Octavia Boulevard is not a member of the SFPD. No, he’s in the CHP, and this is how he carries his ‘less-lethal“ TASER X26 Electronic Control Device (ECD).
That’s correct, it’s right next to his standard issue Smith & Wesson Model 4006 semi-automatic with four-inch barrel and his Swiss-ish sport chronograph (which, for some reason he wears on the right side). Of course, the T.A.S.E.R. is facing the wrong way, so that’s a good method to keep things straight when it comes time to unholster.
I’m sure there are other strategies as well, but this particular approach might be of interest to those following the case of Oscar Grant, aka the BART Police shooting of 2009.
Click to expand.
Of course, it’s not time yet for Tasers in the San Francsico Police Department.
To be continued…
And, hey “ladies”, what’s stopping you from getting your very own Taser C2 complete with laser pointer sighting? Amazon has a nice pink one for just $302. But it’s also available in eight other designer colors, including leopard skin. And did you know that it’s a “court-proven fact” that “not one person has died from a Taser“? (Really? Not sure about that one.) Anyway, see it in action here.
The TASER C2, Made Especially for Women. Forget Tupperware parties, today it’s all about Taser parties!

But what if bad people get hold of these things? Well…
“Unique Anti-Felon Identification (AFID) tags make it possible to identify the Owner. The Taser C2 cartridges contain 20 to 30 AFID tags that are ejected from the cartridge when a TASER is used. The AFID tags are unique and police can use these to determine the owner of the TASER in case the TASER was wrongfully used.”
Did not know that.
Imagine a world where everyone had access to Thomas A Swift’s Electric Rifle….
