“Our good friends in Japan have emailed us some fantastic pictures of a subway train ‘dressed up’ for an iPod campaign,” The Inquirer reports. “…This Japanese subway is not the Tokyo underground, and we’ll leave you to guess exactly where it is. We dunno how much Apple paid for the privilege.”

Got up on the wrong side of the bed dude?
This: us and them attitude into all aspects of life is what get us into trouble to begin with .
Funkola. I don’t ride the trains much anymore but my wife said that a while ago that she rode in a Tokyo train that had every one of the interior posters dedicated to the iPod. The article says this is not Tokyo but the image is too out of focus to read anything that would give you a good hint as to where it is.
The Ginza store has been packed recently and I hear they are going to open two new stores in Sendai and Fukuoka. Good deal but I hope they open one in Yokohama or Shibuya soon so I will have one closer to where I live. However, given that many countries have yet to get their first Apple Store, I really don’t have much to complain about.
Some of the elevated trains “L” in Chicago have their lower halves wrapped simliar to this.
The Hiawatha LRT line in Minneapolis has had iPod ad cars for several weeks.
That’s it DBS, I knew it wouldn’t be long before we heard from the appeasers. The Islamofascists are scum and should be terminated with extreme prejudice.
DBS,
Yeah you’re right…there is no us and them, any group could do something like that.
In fact, our local Boy Scout troop was contemplating where to get our “blown up subway” badge and belt loop. Next we’ll get our crashed airliner hat pin.
If everyone believed that there were no “us and them”, there would only be them…
For all you knee-jerk cretins: the point being made by DBS is that it isn’t just islamic terrorists we ought to be afraid of… or have you forgotten about Oklahoma City so soon??
How about just calling these people criminals and murderers instead…
Charlie,
You’re right to a point and I agree with you. While they “all” are murderers to the highest level and should be punished without mercy, most western people don’t use that method as a tool to their end.
And with restaurant, disco and public transport bombings happening on a regular basis (weekly) in some parts of the world, I think it is safe to classify it as an us and them situation. After all I very rarely read about Eskimo suicide bombers, though they surely exist.
it’s out of focus? “forgot” the auto-focus?
it’s…great. it’s also likely fake.
right-wing morons unite! terror is every where we MUST increase the fear mongering and hate patrols to save us all… or we are doomed!
fusking morons… buy a vowel, get a clue, & turn off fox news… you have all been “punked” by the marketing machines that want you to buy more stuff… cuz he who dies with the most stuff wins doncha know…
:p
Looks a lot like Osaka’s trainsets.
Hey Dumbass,
I know terror might not happen where you are very often, but where I am it happens weekly. And if these dogs haven’t killed a friend or loved one of yours, then shut your mouth.
Only when you’ve lost someone will you be qualified to speak out.
And thank those morons that are out on the line keeping it from happening in your neighborhood!
BTW, I agree that it looks like Osaka…
Yeah… i can’t quite make out the kanji on the second pic though.
Jerry…
amazing you can be so vocal with a mouth full of your own foot… i too have felt the tragic effects… but that does not mean we should all be perpetuating half truths, lies, and stereotypes to justify those uninformed trigger happy fools that see such tragedies as an opportunity to find a poster child to blame to further their own agenda… lets not forget that amidst all the chaos and tragedy some are making money from it in spades… the more chaos and tragedy the more profits there are to be had… you think folks weren’t trading gold like bandits the moment 9/11 happened???
Dumbass,
How is my foot in my mouth? I’ve perpetrated no lies, half truths or stereotypes. I know that during WWII that not all Japanese were kamikazes, but “all” kamikazes were Japanese. So if I discuss “Japanese” Kamikazes, am I stereotyping the Japanese? Of course not, it is a fact that most if not all Kamikazes were Japanese. Just like when you see the news about the latest beheading or suicide bombing it is “mostly” people of a certain persuasion. And it isn’t the local TESCO cashiers union. And you know that. So I don’t feel that it is racism or stereotyping to point that fact out.
As far as certain political types using this to further their own agenda, you’re correct. But that is entirely a different topic. That’s always happened and it always will. That being said, appeasement is not the way to deal with terrorist or any other group that doesn’t mind killing civilians in mass. I personally wish that all the leaders would get together and fight it out instead of sending people like me to die.
If Hitler had not been appeased in the beginning, WWII and its tragedies may not have happened. But “too” many people like you want to give a second, third or fourth chance to people that only want you dead. How many chances are appropriate until you do something? I don’t know what “effect” you’ve felt, but if you haven’t lost someone close to you, you really can’t comment.
And on profits from war and tragedy, well that’s a fact of life also. Every war or tragedy in all of history has always had someone coming out on top and with a fat profit. But still I fail to understand why you think that we should have let Hitler rule Europe and kill as many Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals and Slavs as he felt like, just because General Motors would make a “profit” selling tanks to the government. Sounds stupid to me too.
Gard d zada, the kanji on the second pic says “for female passengers only.” They got separate vehicles for women to avoid sick perverts.
I like the trains.. i wnat to ride them

Dumbass,
Are you still here?
A suicide bomber walked into a crowd of teens today at a mall and blew himself up, killing and injuring the kids around him.
What do you think should be done? Send a box of candy to the group that claimed responsibility?
I don’t understand people like you. You criticize those that act and try to stop this, but you don’t offer a solution on how you would stop these animals. These are a group of people that want you dead so bad, they are willing to kill themselves to kill you or your lived ones, how do you sit down and make ends meet them? They don’t want to talk, thy just want you dead.
