Influenza Campaign

I started to write about this before, but I didn't have the pictures to go with the story. Now, you can see the goofiness for yourself...thank you MTA.

Here we go............
Influenza is just a fancy way to say 'the flu'.
This past winter the MTA started a 'campaign' to warn us to be careful of catching the flu.
They showed us darling pictures of family & friends, with a scare tactic tag line on the side that said "INFLUENZA KILLS!!!"
(insert evil scary music here)
While running this campaign they told us to be careful, take necessary precautions, & not be around too many sick people...all while tainting our view of precious moments spent with family & friends....it was pretty funny.

See pictures below:
PICTURE #1
"Influenza Spreads by word of mouth"

I like to call this, "don't spend time with your friends, they could make you sick"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PICTURE #2

"Influenza likes to keep it in the family"

I call this one, "& don't spend time with your family either"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PICTURE #3

"Influenza loves private moments"

or as it read on another train "Even moments like this can cause influenza"

And this (my favorite one of all...) I call "don't read with Gramps, he's sick & you might die."

And yet the people looks so happy--kinda like a horror flic. Sick! (no pun intended)

I love reading the advertising on the trains. Some are so ridiculous. And yes, this one is right up there. Great post.
