Our Favorite Bizarre Subway Posters

Brian Fairbanks — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 20:39:00 GMT

We've rounded up another compilation of our favorite photos-- this time, the category is Crazy Subway Posters, Usually Ads, Often Defaced... or something like that...

In any case, they're all brilliant. (Here's one we didn't use, only because the poster sucks. The photo of the poster-- look carefully-- is what caught our attention.)

The above photo is of a doctored poster from the Photoshopping campaign-- an artist pasted Photoshop tool symbols over airbrushed pictures in the subway. In case you hadn't figured out how Britney Spears can look entirely awful in real life and not entirely unattractive in ads...

The below shot is of a really offensive ad, which we've because it's too memorable to leave out:

And a cheat-- a poster that, well, doesn't really count but we found during our search and felt we had to share...

Did Obama Sell Out The Gays?

We understand Barack Obama's "team of rivals" cabinet strategy, but why is he giving the stage at his inauguration to a bigot who Scanner Brian has pointed out lately to be a "Christian nutjob" who, "favors assassination"? And may we add, actively hates gay people.

Politico reports Reverend Rick Warren, a key component of California's Prop 8 (or hate) campaign, will be performing the invocation at Obama's inauguration. Off course, this pissed off a lot of people:

“Your invitation to Reverend Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at your inauguration is a genuine blow to LGBT Americans,” the president of Human Rights Campaign, Joe Solomonese, wrote Obama Wednesday. “[W]e feel a deep level of disrespect when one of architects and promoters of an anti-gay agenda is given the prominence and the pulpit of your historic nomination.”

Obama's trying to throw the religious conservatives a bone, but did he have to pick this big fat evangelical dick?

We can only hope someone throws a shoe at Reverend Rick this January.

Also: Obama might be considering closing gays completely out of his cabinet. Wall Street Journal reports.

Ever notice whenever celebrities get political (gays, abortion etc... ) the Christian right scoffs at these mere jesters of sodom and gomorrah, but if any one of them finds God, it's like the second coming of Mel Gibson? This is very funny, but where the hell were all these people one month and one day ago?

Video after the jump.

Prop 8 - The Musical, too little too late? Regardless, it is here now and makes its point and makes you laugh... oh, unless you hate gay people that is.

PosterBoyNYC is a Flickr photographer who, as you can see above, doctors those enormous and always obnoxious subway ads.

After the jump, a look at our favorite cut-and-paste jobs from this Urban Prankster...

There are plenty more, even a handful that are arguably better than all of the ones we've included above, at Flickr.
