… Or do we not care about racy ads?

I read earlier this week about a controversy in New York over ads on MTA buses for Akademiks brand clothes that read “Read Books, Get Brain.” As I’m sure the kids Tom is substitute-teaching could tell us, “Get Brain” means “Receive oral sex.” Once this was pointed out to the MTA they said they would remove the ads from buses.

(Sigh — I would have had to have it pointed out to me, too. I’m so out of touch with slang. And I listen to hip-hop. It’s not fair! I’m old!)

Anyway, today on the way to lunch I saw one of the ads on the side of a CTA bus. Hoo-ray for the CTA not knowing urban slang, either.
