The Tokyo Metro Authority`s manner campaign, which puts out a new poster each month advising commuters not to engage in unsuitable activities on the trains (such as eating, drinking, applying mascara etc.) has been much blogged about in recent months.
Not wanting to be left out, I thought of some new poster ideas for this campaign while taking the metro to work this morning. Here they are below!
DO IT AT THE ADULT MOVIE SHOP:
DO IT WITH YOUR WIFE:
DO IT IN THE STRIP BAR:
DO IT IN REMEDIAL ENGLISH CLASS:
DO IT ANYWHERE ELSE BUT RIGHT THE FUCK IN FRONT OF ME:
So now, does anyone know who I can send all my ideas to?? I`d really like to start seeing them up on the station walls. On second thought though, I may have better luck with a printer and some duct tape...
Love this! I once sat beside a guy who was watching some fairly graphic porn on his phone. It would be a great addition to this list but alas I didn't get the shot.

I'm sure they will have a manner's poster about this eventually as well.

The last one was my favorite, having alredy blogged about this particular flavor of perv. (Plus, you know, a well-placed F-bomb is just flat-out funny.) But they all gave me a good laugh.

One of the best posts I've read for a long time.
It's a messed up country for sure.
I doubt they will ever make a poster about reading (soft)porn on the train, as they just want to target individuals, not large, mega-bucks publishing companies who sell it.
Big business in advertising it on the train for Tokyo Metro.
I'm sure there's some irony in there somewhere.
The posters are funny in a no-one-gives-a-shit kind of way.
I wonder if the Japanese have a laugh at them...
