I finally bothered to snap a photograph of one of these ads the other day when I was on the train.
Dr. Zizmor Subway Advertisement
I continue to be amused at both how prevalent and how slapdash they are. I mean, check it out: “treating New Yorker’s skin problems”. “Cleanup” as a verb. And not a comma in sight. And yet, they obviously put a lot of money into the ad campaign; they’re all over many of the IRT line trains that I’m frequently on. I even remember seeing one of these ads when I was briefly in NYC a few years back and remarking on how silly it was.
