My day was very similar to this.


Bedknobs & Broomsticks - What's that got to do with my knob? - YouTube

I was riding home on the trolley last night when I noticed that all of the ads on it were Canadian. I don't mean they were travel ads, I mean they were local Ontario ads you would expect to see on a trolley in Toronto. And there weren't just one or two, I'm talking about every ad in the trolley, probably 10 to 12 ads. It's was really fucking weird. I felt like I was in a Twilight Zone episode or something.

That's hilarious. And you're not even on the border! Sometimes we see ads promoting tourism in New York, Michigan, or Minnesota, but you'd expect that.

Like ads for stores and stuff? Strange, lol. We mostly see ads for movies.

Trolleys are like streetcars right? Super dumb question, I know.

Awww, well I'm not an expert but I am a lady and we can take this to PM if you'd like.

Just... random stuff. The first one that caught my eye was a credit card ad with the words "NEW TO CANADA?" written on it in big letters. Then I noticed the ad next to it was for a talk radio show on some Toronto station I had never heard of. Then I realized the one directly above me was some kind of Ontario drug abuse program. When I got off, I looked at the contact info on the rest and all of them were 416 phone numbers and/or URLs ending in ".ca". I can't even begin to imagine how they all ended up there. I'm glad my wife was with me as a witness because it was really strange.

Yeah, same thing I think. The one I was on looks like this:

Strange indeed! Yeah, the talk radio stations were probably the AM ones... like 1010 or 680 or some boring sh*t like that that only old people listen to, lol. That's all so weird... where the hell did they get those ads... lol.

Okay yep. Same thing. If you said "trolley" here you'd have a lot of confused looks coming your way! We call them streetcars, and that looks like an old one! But they are the same - rails, electric, etc.

This is what ours look like.

I used to ride that one a lot into the city actually, the 501 :). It would be funny if I got on the streetcar tomorrow or something and saw ads for places in Philly, wouldn't it?

I don't know if they wrong batch of ads got sent to the wrong place or what. Maybe it was a prank.

I don't think they're as old as they look. I'm pretty sure they're fairly modern trolleys just made with a retro look. I love that about them though.

Heh. That would really make it like a Twilight Zone episode.

I saw American Psycho for the first time last night while I was smoking, It was INTENSE!
