So apparently the TTC is in talks with professional aldultry website AshleyMadison to advertise their famed slogan “Life is short. Have an affair.” on the side or our beloved street cars.
AshleyMadison.com, a website that actively encourages adultery, says it has inked an advertising deal with the Toronto Transit Commission to wrap a streetcar in promotional material starting Jan. 2.
But TTC officials said it’s not a done deal yet and staff are recommending the commission doesn’t get into bed with the controversial site.
If approved by the six city councillors on the advertising review committee today, TTC fares may not be the only thing going up in the new year.
Some riders’ eyebrows could also be raised when they see one of the city’s iconic streetcars swathed in purple with the phrase, “Life is short. Have an affair.”
The test trolley won’t be lonely for long.
If the ads test well, the sinful site wants to brand 10 streetcars by February, Happy Valentine’s Day indeed. Ashley Madison said the deal amounts to a $200,000 media buy.
This is horrid, tacky and classless.
AshleyMadison’s Ceo Noel Biderman thinks otherwise…
Ashley Madison has a total right to exist and advertise like everybody else.
“You can sit there and claim immorality all you want but who is defining morality in this day and age? We’re a society based on tolerance.”
Maybe we should question our society if it has mutated to a point where individuals need the internet to have affairs? It’s a sad sort of society that needs to pay to get laid.
Yes, Mr. Biderman your company does have a right to advertise like everyone else… But maybe we should consider that the street car is seen by children. Why, in any realm of reason would a person think that this is an acceptable moral message to display to the public? Oh… maybe Mr. Biderman is getting a cut of the large money deal. Go ahead and advertise on similar sites, or in the back of NOW magazine. Just have some class and keep this filth off the street cars.
I’m not one for ill wishing, but if you pedal smut on my doorstep then you deserve a few cruel words:
I kinda hope that Mr. B is delusional and believes that he is happily married. And I kinda hope that his partner is fed up with his limp dick lifestyle and laughable job position and decides to search for greener, younger, more James Franco-like pastures. I can only imagine how sweet the irony would taste if his better half were to use the company that he so faithfully serves to have an affair without him knowing.
This man is a dick. The company is sad. We as people can do far better than this.
