Building off of Josh's amazing mbta-related posts, allow me discuss my complete disdain for the MBTA pilot program, T-Radio.

As an elitist I try to avoid using public transportation at all costs, but there are, unfortunately, some times when I am forced to mingle with the proletariat. I found myself standing on the T platform at South Station waiting for a train to take me back to the mansion that is the 2-bedroom apartment in which Josh and I live. [Ed. note: not in a gay way.]

During my wait I was subjected an audio bombardment that nearly caused my ears to bleed. I got to hear the latest Nickelback hit (not to be confused with Nickel Creek, right Erin?), and then a fascinating interview/advertisement with awesome Su-Fi creator Dane Cook about his brilliant movie Good Luck Chuck. I promptly started listening to my iPod to prevent myself from performing a lobotomy with my Swiss Army knife.*

Turns out I was not alone in my hatred of T-Radio, as the 2-week trial program has been shelved. I am somewhat shocked. Don't we live in a land where people need to be bombarded by annoying music and ads at all times? How else would you explain the audiovisual barrage one experiences whenever there is a break during any sporting event? Or any event, period?

Oh well. Without further adieu, I bid T-Radio ado.
