If you saw a flyer boasting "Prostitution Reform" crumpled up on the floor of the E train, you'd pick it up, too. Dirt, footprints, grammatical errors, and a most confusing message... nothing could have provided more entertainment for Maria Levitsky and I, who giggled all the way home.
I challenge any of you grammar geeks out there to take a stab at this. Download the PDFs: front | back

Nothin' new - this one guy's been carpet-bombing Manhattan with these flyers for years. (I recall seeing him written up in the press once or twice.) At the West 4th St station (A/C/E/B/D/F/V) 3rd St entrances there's these long passenger walkways with billboards along both sides of the walls. You can often see the posters on the billboards purposefully peeled halfway off the wall with crumpled copies of these flyers stuck to the backing of the poster that's hanging loose. That's one way to break through the ad clutter!

Allow this "grammar geek" to point out to you that the correct grammar is " . . .for Maria Levitsky and ME . . ." Let she who is w/out sin etc.

Dilute! Dilute! Rabbi Hillel taught carpenter Jesus the moral ABC which unites all mankind on spaceship earth! Do not get in eye!

This sort of flyer is part of the "Housing A Constitutional Amendment" campaign in New York.
