MTA Puts “Perv” Posters On Hold

A transit poster campaign to reduce deviant behavior against women in New York’s subways has been shelved. Fear that the words might encourage the acts is the reason. In other cities, signs are up including “Flash someone and you’ll be exposed.” and “Rub against me and I’ll expose you.” Rather than creative, eye-catching ads to deliver the message, maybe we’d be better served by more undercover cops, arrests, prosecutions and harsher sentences.
