The MTA is not amused

The Working Families Party has come up with a brilliant ad campaign that targets the beleaguered transit authority and the mayor. I think the tongue in cheek ads are quite fun and drive home the point but the MTA is not amused and is not allowing the ads to run.
Have look..

Of course the MTA doesn't want them up. Then, they may have to take a good hard look at themselves and that would be ridiculous.

@Uptowngirl: Yeah, I know. I am a member of WFP. The subway is a public system. Therefore people have a right to advertise no matter the ad. Actually, the ad is aimed at Bloomberg, telling him to keep his promise to help the MTA like he said in his campaign.
