NOTHING PROPER ABOUT THIS PROPAGANDA

As I'm sure, all you fellow subway riders have noticed, the mta along with the rest of the world has taken up a surprising "green," "lets recycle," "I hug trees" attitude. as most of you know, i personally, am the number 1 spokesperson to promote love for mother nature and all her habitants. with that being said, i was super distraught when i saw the nonsense the gestapo (lol)was trying to brainwash me with. On the E train one morning (and since the early bird catches the worm and I indeed had an appetite for destruction at the crack of dawn) I began to read all the advertisements in the car.

"Get online, not in line"
See and pay your bills online. Save time, paper, postage and trees. Go green with e*bill. Sign up at conEd.com/ebill.
("Hmmm, interesting" I said to myself) I continued to read on...

"Stay safe"
If you smell gas, leave the area at once and call 1-800-75-coned.
("Good to know")

"Kid power"
Turn them on to our cool kids' web site at conEd.com/kids
("A little odd, no?")

"Keeping things cool"
Open refrigerator and freezer doors only when necessary. AND choose efficient Energy Star appliances.
("Got 'em! NOTHING PROPER ABOUT THIS PROPAGANDA)

As I re-read the ConEd signs that wall-papered the train car, I asked myself: "am i looking too much into these advertisements? hey, maybe they just want the people to be aware and take necessary precautions to help conserve energy." hmmm I then reached for my flask (joke!) and started thinking about all the money these companies are probably making by promoting all this 'save the whales' bullshit. who hasnt fallen victim to the launch of the reusable canvas bag? let me get this straight: instead of using plastic or paper bags that are probably worth less than a penny each, im being suckered into paying a whole lot more on a canvas bag with a catchy quote, something like "you can kiss my canvas" that by using is going to save the ozone layer? uhhhh? riiiiiight. i dunno man.i really just dont know. it just doesnt make sense to me: "save energy by buying my product" how is that progress?
