I’d just like to take a moment and applaud who ever at BVG is responsible for this ad campaign because it cuts right through the crap and gets to the stuff people care about. In Los Angeles our transit system is largely crap. Well, it’s not really crap, but the people who run it are, which often makes the system itself suck. But they have campaigns that are like “save a dollar or two by riding the train” or “some other dumb ass unpersuasive slogan.” I don’t read German, but I can only assume this campaign is suggesting that if you ride the trams hot German girls will wish they were making out with you which convinced me the moment I saw it. Of course I’m a dude, maybe it’s directed at the ladies and tells them that there are hot guys on the tram they will want to make out with. Either way, that’s one hell of a selling point as far as I’m concerned. Nice work.

Hi Berlin! I’m Sean and I usually live in Los Angeles but I’ve been living in Vienna for the past month or so and just got into town this morning. I’ll be here though New Years, and starting tomorrow I’ll be at 24C3 as well. I’ll be posting a bit here, and if you are super interested in stalking me you can follow me on twitter or watch this flickr tag and see what I’m up to. Anything super interesting will end up here for sure though. If there’s something you think I should not miss while I’m here, please let me know! Thanks!!
