Unnerving


The new animated advertisements in Metro's red line tunnels are hard to miss. They're large and brightly backlit. They're also eerie. You're riding along on Metro and suddenly the tunnel is lit up with images of sled dogs mushing past mountains in the background. Then a Lincoln drives by. Judging from the comments I've heard, I'm not the only one who was a little unnerved upon first seeing the new ads. One evening on my ride home I heard one women blurt out "what's going on?" to her friend and on another trip I heard, "what just happened?"

Whenever we have these moving into the future moments, I always think of the movie, THX 1138. "What's wrong? Take two of these and...be happy."
