City transit officials have prepared a campaign to combat deviants who
grope or molest women on the subway - but have been sitting on it
because of fears the ads could actually encourage sickos.

The New York City Transit campaign was set into motion after a study
last year by Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer found that 10
percent of women surveyed reported having been sexually abused in the
subway and 63 percent claimed to have been sexually harassed.

How many English majors does it take to figure out a “Service Changes”
poster by which the Metropolitan Transportation Authority tried to
inform subway riders about last weekend’s construction re-routings?

I don’t know, but there was a bunch of us veteran New Yorkers at the
Hoyt-Schermerhorn station Saturday morning trying to parse one of the
diabolical notices.
