Bay to Breakers Best Transit Costume

Not that we’re biased or anything, but this Bay to Breakers costume is kind of awesome. Photographer Octoferret dropped this gem in our Flickr pool. If you were at our birthday party, you know that we have a Clipper card costume in the Muni Diaries closet.

Here is a gallery of our awesome party goers doing their best poses — wearing the Clipper Card and Fast Pass costumes, natch — in the Orange Photography photobooth.

Next year’s Bay to Breakers: let’s be costume twins?

Newest Muni Ad Spoof: Men’s Whorehouse

We’ve just received a photo of the latest Muni spoof ad spree from reader “Black Elvis.” He found it Friday on the 49 around 3 p.m. The ad reads: Men’s Whorehouse “You’re gonna like the whore you bang, we guarantee it.”

Ouch.

Earlier, a MissionMission contributor said he saw two guys putting up these ads on the 49 (“one of them had a pretty sweet mustache”).

So far in the series of Muni adbusters, we’ve got a special variety Tumsthe other name for Tartine, and a dig on Du Beers.

I can’t quite tell why Men’s Warehouse was picked as a target for the spoof. Personally I think this spoof of a men’s fragrance is pretty on point.

Witness: I Saw The Muni Adbusters

Ever since we found the “Cum Tum” ad on Muni and the spoof ad spree that ensued, we’ve been wondering who’s behind this hilarious turn of events. Last night a MissionMission contributor said he saw two guys putting up these ads on the 49.

From MissionMission:

I had the pleasure of watching one of the new fake bus ads go up today. I was on the 49 when two young males boarded. One mentioned concernedly to the other that there was no one driving the bus. I informed them that the driver was behind the bus fixing the wires, which had fallen off the lines as the bus turned off 16th onto Mission.

But alas, no photos of the two guys. Just as well, because that would be like finding out that Santa Claus isn’t real, right? You can read the rest of his account on MissionMission, including a description of the guys.

For review, we have a special variety Tums, the unfortunate nickname for Tartine, and an inexplicable spoof of Du Beers. The dig on Marines is also clever but perhaps not from the same culprit?

What’s next?
