everything you’ve always wanted to…

“p0rn in public transport / lets make it happen”. a call for a public debate about ethics in public space? no. this is a new wimax provider in amsterdam selling usp’s for their service. p0rn on the road. share it with your neighbor, perhaps? i suppose this is one of the common guilty pleasures, although i’m not sure if i’d feel comfortable anymore once confronted with a public p0rn user.

public p0rn.

public p0rn.

the issue is highly debatable (in the netherlands, at least). recently this poster got banned from all subway stations. the reason why is curious though: amsterdams public transport authority is arguing that the pixelized picture in the background is too provocative, not the message. according to them the people could think that their drivers (m/f) are up for grabs. wow. (kp)
(the liberals and the green party say it’s censorship and want the poster back in the public domain. tbc?)
