Subway Advertising In A Modern World

We spotted these Continental.com advertisements on all of the turnstiles at Wall Street Station.

They’re just another step into the world of creepy and odd advertising.  Since it’s going there, we might as well embrace it and say that we look forward to the day when all of the MTA and other public property of NYC has been sold off to advertisers.  It’ll be a day and age where municipal employees wear coveralls and look like Nascar drivers wearing no less than 50 advertisements patched onto their uniforms and it will be a land where subway announcements will likely sound like this:

“Do not hold the Capitol One Credit Card Doors.  Holding the Capitol One Credit Card Doors open delays Chase Bank Subway Service.”

“Due to an emergency at Club Med Station, there is no downtown express service.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, as of July 2005, the Wal-Mart Police Department has the right to check large bags and packages within the Chase Bank Subway System at the Wynn Resorts and Casino sponsored City of New York.”

“If you see a suspicious package, please report it to a FreeCreditReport.com agent or Wal-Mart Police Officer.”

“Welcome to the Chase Bank Subway System at the Wynn Resorts and Casino sponsored City of New York.  There is an uptown Starbucks train at BP Station, four stations away.  There is also a downtown McDonald’s train at AT&T station, one station away.”

“The Swatch Watch Company would like to let you know that the time is now, 11:30AM.”

“The unlimited monthly Metrocard price is now, 5,000 Pepsi Bucks.”

Those will be the days… :)
