Offensive Advertising on Chicago Buses

Hey Feministing. This is the kind of thing I usually wouldn’t cross post from SAFER’s blog as it doesn’t directly have to do with our work, but a woman in Chicago contacted us trying to raise more attention on the current ad campaign the Chicago Transit Authority has endorsed by allowing the below ads to run on city buses. Please contact them if you’re as angry as we are.

These are the promotional ads for Tucker Max’s new film currently running on the side of some Chicago buses .

A columnist for the Chicago Tribune has also spotted a bus ad that says, “Deaf Girls Can’t Hear You Coming.”

I’m not even going to bother explaining AGAIN why Max’s messages are horrendous [even though, these ads take it to an even more horrifying level by…I don’t even know? Is this really a joke about assaulting blind and deaf women? Can he really be that derranged? I get the double entendre too but…holy shit]. But this is different from the film or his in-person speeches—you can always just choose not to attend those. These ads are being forced on the public because the Chicago Transit Authority approved them. You can contact the CTA here .
