Questionable ad campaigns...

So I'm driving down Reisterstown Road (aka Talladega Speedway) when I see this on the back of an MTA bus....

I'm an Aggressive Driver
STOP
or get tickets, fines and points
It's one of the ads for Smooth Operator - a Maryland/DC partnership to reduce aggressive driving. Necessary here in this lawless land of the mid-Atlantic where we have the worst drivers and most atrocious traffic west of Calcutta. I'm all for it. It's a great thing.
However, the irony of the thing is the font sizes and graphic design layout of this particular outdoor advertising (click the link to see the real dealio) and the fact it was on the back of a city bus. At first I thought it was a real warning about the bus and not an advertisement.
You see, the bus drivers here in Harm City are required not only to be blind and obstinate, they must also be aggressive drivers. They will pull away from a bus stop and cut your ass off with no regard to oncoming traffic. Always. It's the law.
