I saw this story (go ahead, click the link; in testimony to my HTML coding skills, it will open in a new window) a few weeks ago, and my first thought was “when will this happen in New York?” (Well, my second thought, actually: My first was something like: “Look at those wacky Germans!”)

So I’m walking down the street yesterday and pass a bus stop shelter where one of these posters previously hung. The side of the shelter was smashed to bits, with fragments of glass sprayed across the pavement. The advertisement was, of course, gone.

There’s another copy of the poster at a bus stop across from the J-School. I give it about a week.
