abra 40,910 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Toronto, the Canadian city hitherto most known for red leaves and former celebrity mayor Rob Ford recently became the scene of a story that undoubtedly made the people of Toronto crack a few smiles. As the BBC puts it: The sign that raised a few eyebrows is not what it appears to be After the people who run buses in Toronto decided to replace a map at one of its stations, they probably weren't banking on such an enthusiastic response. Despite being drawn exactly according to the station's design, a passenger couldn't help noticing it resembled a prominent feature of the male physique. It was inevitably shared online, and now the Toronto Transit Commission's told Newsbeat they're replacing it. Spokesman Brad Ross explains: "The designers were trying to get this job done by the end of the year, the process that was in place wasn't followed. "A manager would have seen that map, and would have noticed its unique shape shall we say and had it redesigned." He adds: "We have a (new) map which will go in tomorrow. "The station design, the architectural drawings are shaped as you see them in that photo, it is phallic shaped there's no doubt about it." Brad remembers the moment a member of staff told him how it had turned out. "The image of a tweet from one of our customer service folks was sent to me, and as soon as I saw it I knew that this was going to become a bit of a story." The map was drawn according to the building's architectural design Although he thinks the decision to replace the map was an easy one. "Honestly we could live without the constant jokes, we want the map to be functional and not to become a tourist attraction. "Some may take offence because of its likeness to the male member, and we don't want to offend anybody."

myreflections 3,232 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 are they really trying to say NO one , not one person, realized how it looks like before it got printed and put in stations? Out of all the people involved, not even the one placing the map, none of them realized? I mean.. come on. they made the tip grey. ))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
