Bus survey
Hot on the heels of the city's successful contest to name its official dildo (sorry, Operation Green Light road paving project mascot), they're now asking for input as to how the new hybrid buses, due to hit the streets next year, should be painted.
Seriously. The city wants to know which of these marginally different curvy stripey designs will make you feel better about living here. (Ooops. Designs C and D don't have any curves. They're just stripey.) Where are the choices that have stars in them? Or the choices between full panel home oxygen canister ads and full panel ambulance chaser ads?
Or better yet, how about a survey that asks how often you'd ride the bus if it came by more than once every half hour, had a destination other than the main bus depot, and you didn't have to stand in the mud and rain waiting for it?
UPDATE: Mrs. D weighs in with another option.

Does that mean no more David Cutcliffe buses? I don't really care if they want to max out the buses with ads.

My comment to DATA was that E looked like the Bank of America logo, while the others were knockoffs of the Delta logo.
I say sell the space for advertising -- the ones they have now with the "Duke Football 2008" ads are pretty cool.
