Agitprop on the Red Line 'L' train

[strannik01]

The way advertisements are set up inside Chicago 'L' train cars is pretty simple. They are printed on sheets of paper, which get inserted inside the metal brackets in the spaces above the seats. It makes it pretty easy to change them in and out. But, as any experienced 'L' riders know, it makes it just as easy for riders to take advertisements out

Clever. Even having seen those foursquare ads on the red line, the agitprop slips featured in these photos caught me off guard and would probably remain unnoticed by CTA personnel for awhile before being take down.

That's just the thing, isn't it? It looks professional enough that, if you don't look too closely, it's easy to assume it's just part of an ad. And I don't think CTA workers are going to look too closely. At least not right away.

Are you sure that this "ads" aren't supported by some organization through official CTA procedure?

Positive. Я наверно недостаточно хорошо объяснил - это картонные листы, которые были вставленны поверх рекламы соц-сети Foursquare.
