Reflective ad piques my interest
The Boston Globe has put up these funny, reflective advertisements on the Subway. The "thought bubbles" are all over the car, positioned just so that each bubble is over a seat where someone might sit. As you look about the subway, you see one person "thinking" about universal healthcare, and another "thinking" about the $100 laptop, and many more current events. It's amusing to imagine each person on the subway considering these events, and it's a good way to learn some current news. I love this ad, and hope to see many more like it in the future.

It's bad enough when people put words in my mouth. Now they've got to put them in my heads? Just kidding.
I can imagine an interesting experiment: Take a more controversial version of this where the balloons contain what basically amounts to hate speech. Would subway riders avoid sitting in the seats that attributed the especially pernicious thoughts? Or would they sit in those seats at the same rate that they sat in the seats with harmless thoughts?
Wow, now that would be a really interesting experiment. I'm not sure the Globe would want to fund it :)
