Death Rides the Bus

Hearsebus72_1I don't like bus wraps; the rolling billboards are intrusive and they make the view from inside the bus hazy and depressing.

Damn you, HBO, for finding a bus ad that I can't resist! Claire Fisher's lime green avocado hearse is going to roll down New York's streets like a harbinger of death to us all for the Six Feet Under DVD release. San Francisco and Los Angeles turned down the ad because they thought it would reduce ridership, but New York (and Chicago) approved it. More proof that New Yorkers are tough, unflappable and looking for any source of revenue.

Don't judge me, but I would love to see one of these ads roll through a Century Village and watch the residents start openly weeping.

It's actually avocado, not lime green.

Apologies, Claire. You are correct.
