No Offense Taken . . .
Uh, dude, it’s an ad:
An irate city councilman is declaring war on a popular storage company over a subway ad he finds “offensive and insulting” to the outer boroughs.
Public Storage ads proclaim, “Finally, a good reason to leave Manhattan.”Councilman Eric Gioia (D-Queens) fired off a furious letter to the California-based storage company yesterday, demanding that the “narrow-minded and inaccurate” ads be removed from city subways and buses immediately.
“Implying, as your company does, that there is no reason, other than your storage facilities, to visit four of the five boroughs is simply wrong,” Gioia wrote to CEO Ronald Havner Jr.
What, no 7 train service interruptions this weekend? Nothing Con Ed did?
