CTA pulls “stripper” ads for Tucker Max movie after rider outrage
Are you offended?

… because I know I am. Even if boorish blogger Tucker Max is still holding out hope that “there’s beer in hell,” the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is probably crossing their fingers that customers won’t demand heads on pikes for allowing these super-offensive advertisements for Max’s upcoming movie to be displayed on CTA vehicles. Two hundred and fifty ads like these are now being pulled from CTA buses.
Obviously, I’m offended at the advertisement (as was the Tribune editorial board) but I can’t say I’m surprised — honestly, what else do you expect from a blogger who’s become famous for sexcapades that would make Cassanova look like a prude? Plus, getting worked up at the same class act who penned a press release entitled “Blow me” in response to the CTA’s move seems hardly worth the time.
If there’s anything Chicagoans should direct their ire at, it’s the CTA’s advertising policies. Their quick actions in pulling the ads are commendable, but how did these advertisements even make it onto buses city-wide in the first place? The CTA claims the company they outsourced ads to didn’t notify them that the ads may violate its standards. I wonder if anyone actually read these things before slapping them on buses. At the very least, Chicagoans expect better management from a vital service that our tax dollars support.

Heads need to roll at CTA for this grave error. Countless deaf and blind women have been victimized by Tucker Max’s need to rape women with his words. The bastard. We need to keep telling Tucker that his rapewords will not be spoken in Chicago. God bless.
