Why CAN’T you have fun?

While Say it ain’t Joe scares New Yorkers with his spin on how to handle mass transit and Swine Flu, BART riders at Glen Park in San Fran recently had a different idea. How cool is this: A group of people installed five swings for anyone to use, then took pics. Okay, having ridden that BART route, happy and joyful were not my first impressions. (While far more open than a NYC subway, picture a tin can with indoor-outdoor carpeting and Brady Bunch-inspired ergonomics/color scheme, all the fun riding at midnite brings, and a jet turbine level nail-scratching sound outside as cars pass through certain enclosed areas further south.) Still, with everything going on, why not throw up a swing and do something this cool. When’s the last time adults had fun in a non-ad effort like this?*

*Let’s be real though: That shit ain’t flying in NYC—someone’s leaving shot.

This is brilliant! Those swings will stay up for at LEAST... 3 hours.
