I have a good friend and a panel woman that I admire mightily for a million different reasons just say Dotty aunt she knows that I'm talking about she thinks. Jimmy -- is great. And she thinks I'm very mean when I talked about Jamaica and he is without a doubt. The worst president it's not even close it almost certain that. It's not even close but no matter how -- you might think million common for a into. It's just like Michael Jackson that's you know that's not only was his performance in office come. He has then made that ineptitude even worse by offering these ridiculous comments on his successes I think his strategy was that he can improve his legacy as president if he could be worse -- that for a while he says he's been working hard at that he's he's been working died -- -- though in the one way he might be able to redeem something. Just shabby. Shabby performance from many many years on the public stage. Would be disco when you know -- put up that plywood for habitat for humanity in decline. Don't offer any -- -- operating comatose or anyone else homes unintelligible putting the plywood forget about doors and windows just. Put up -- around the whole thing hey I'm page twenty for The Herald the -- this one this is an unbelievable in my favor of the Earl Everett Hughes a I 24 I'll try to remember that. The headlines says at all he slammed over point it's pretty simple apparently. The MBTA has except that advertising. His act in my real -- make eight point -- couple a stick figures and a camera and this is a movie that is essentially about. A young couple that very very cool they decide to make a pornographic film for financial reasons wobble while this is what Hollywood they calling values movie yeah yeah and in this is sickening it really is because. The MBTA it's obvious that affect this matter with in this at a just a couple of columns and on the top pop page 24. It's contained in the number of issues that point out what is wrong with American society. And first and foremost I'd love this professor -- college professor -- eleven. She's the co author of the book so sexy so soon. The new sexual allies childhood and what parents can do to protect their kids -- haven't seen this book I think I'm gonna go out get this book if for no other reason. I'd like to but the beautiful Vista what a professor thinks we can't. In should do this is outrageous his depiction ladies and gentlemen pay attention and an interest in you calls a -- 6172666868. You take in the son -- -- grandson or granddaughter in my case and I get taken mentality going to take it you're gonna take the T. He going to get on the trolley that trained Abbas whatever it might be. Because you gonna go to do the Swan Boats take a tour of the Statehouse the Freedom Trail maybe just -- rights restaurant what are you -- billions of Andy is this ad with a couple stick figures ones obviously guy wants obviously girl. And once obviously a movie Canon and a camera bright so that three frigates. -- in my -- make of porno now okay let's say it give -- your grandson and granddaughter whatever you child. I think this -- supposed to say is yeah for this apart. 456. He has no its attempts to -- this thing is static to be. And you know kids to field questions I would have look at this sort of popped what's that secondary Kapono astronomy what that -- you're saying that there should be putting up. Posters that are going to miss you have to explain to you you're not speak what this crap but at full. In this. The and the stick. The stick figures a particularly. Attractive to kids that look at that that's how that's kind of draw that they're monitoring no question about it it is just -- -- like let's say tons of them get my mind around this. And Joe -- zotero. Our two minute. Says that the stance. Quote I'm not a violation of the -- court approved add guidelines you know what jumps out of me about this court approved what's that the -- Caught approved -- guidelines screw -- -- covered a fair are pornography that's always have what's the -- of the world you -- let's not what the First Amendment interpretation that nude dancing as a protected. Mode of expression but that's ridiculous. Ruling absolutely no it is not ridiculous. -- -- a big as a matter of fact let's go to. I'm not taking it out a joke to -- presents are by the way he's has put guy's gonna defend what I call the indefensible Joe Tom -- here and Todd Feinberg thanks for getting back to -- is here from the T did you. Hi Joe hi -- Joe we know you -- median financial problems over -- we talk about the with a lot of sympathy yeah. But I mean this one you use you see temperature in The Herald story what professor Diane Levin is saying this is a public space. He would have no control over what the kids are not going to be exposed to in the have put in an impossible situation to try to explain that little little boy and girl with a porno film that was 1. I mean how does. The at at some point don't have to say hey look what will take the ad for release two income but we're not take take in the ad as Akamai remake one. Well because that's in the court approved guidelines in the mean. The -- and it's scrutinizing some called -- to restrict some call them too liberal it depends on what the other question is that the time. So we went through the the process of developing these guidelines so that anytime an act comes to a weak and put it up against these guidelines if there is if it is anyway violates them then it's rejected if not. The MBTA as you know is under a legislative mandate to maximize non -- revenue. And if we start getting real choosy about what the key is going to run and what they're not then. We're we're going to severely diminish that pool of -- their revenue. Let me ask your question Joe about being choosy and not I'm speaking as a as a taxpayer as well as a father and grandfather. Do you have at at any given the current economic climate we have the ability to choose the have a wealth of ads that way you can just say hey look -- I look this might actually fit within the guidelines but. It's still going to cause this type of discomfort a guy like Finneran is gonna go on the year our professor Levin is going to say come on this is over the line. Even though it might fit within the guidelines we have that selective but he -- are you guys. -- -- Just last week I know that two. There were brought to the and beaches attention. We have tighten our contractor that handled the electorate program here but wear -- went up and raise the flag they bring it to our attention and and a couple of were brought to our attention illegal apartment. That they didn't think they should go and then being proactive signed off on to write these should arc while I don't I don't want to. A just I don't want to do this appetizer wart free publicity you're a mean. Justice alleged that they've gotten a lot of publicity out of the tree in recent months until they came to us with new. That that. One of them had profane language and and so in no brainer -- now that's these -- and another one. -- Very. Very they actually digestive. So you know so yes so we do in some cases reject. They came to a forum last week to work accepted -- were rejected so. So yeah we there is. There are times when we we just have to -- And and if this -- and ma -- my everyone's Akamai remake a porno on the subject -- this story in The Herald today. Had been rejected I guess some -- as it's from a taxpayer is there -- you know what it is is Heineken look going to promote our. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- But you know you put in the an enviable position of explaining. When it's on on these that are on the bus -- this is different -- the company called that. The easier to -- to reconsider great partnership where were getting. Hundreds of three -- shelters. In all of the communities -- by entities round Austin. At no charge and they do -- me in shelters for an exchange. They say we need via a cell that's sure and so they do errands. Communities like Somerville. They get a portion of via -- As well -- It'd been about the porn I mean an absolute this is personalize it right. Now right. Ambulances act in Mary make support. Wrote about it but I do not -- -- -- like a compelling story and that is that your outlook and answering to blanket contracts were you don't have to worry about the dated an operation you don't want to worry about the -- it's. So well nobody nobody still would have we have ultimate day I mean if those that they described that we rejected last week they were for trolleys and buses. Someone had brought blows to the most important question alters they do we don't -- that no you can. -- understood as usual until I'm not -- his -- extra aren't you've got to let them make a living otherwise there won't want to do the contract to you know. Literally right right I mean they're not going to tour for free. You know so -- is that the key customers get free bus shelters. Until I don't get money. In -- right here correctly then the other by -- -- company that has the contract. If somebody somewhere thought this was marginal they action would bring it to you -- to the legal department and say well. This is closed the line what do you think and apparently this one fits within the guidelines. The through both of our advertising contractors that the shelter people and and -- in the subway station buses vehicle they all have to do. In the Contra activities they have to operate within the guidelines that the court has. Hey you know what I'm no different than anybody else I want to both ways and tell business arrangement I love the business arrangement that's a good common sense business arrangement -- -- Andy get the bus shelter -- get the maintenance and blah blah blah but that -- given this one my reaction is I'm sitting there with my little rag and stuff like that I'd rather every were cold shiver and without -- shelter right giver -- -- As opposed to having to make the explanation I mean. I'll cover you want all you have to say to -- in north -- I don't activity there. And then you move on not that because the curiosity. I don't get that it is very confusing what would you would you -- that's smart very. She digs Popper is an all Boeing improper is pretty much all knowing carried joke so just an explanation when. -- by -- side on this homestand against us away absolutely yes that's. We'll leave him because again professor Diane Levin says look this is a public space. Parents have no control over what the kids are exposed to and then another professor Gail -- And we'll -- says this is unbelievable. You know the whole thing about -- movies it's a massive lie it's all filled with drug addicts survivors of childhood sex sexual abuse and -- his ultimately the problem. -- -- and Joe knows this. The problem with pornography seeping in the mainstream society what can be more mainstream than the -- shelter and some element -- -- place there's a lot of seekers -- -- place that does a lot of further on we don't have to -- Rand it to that the problem what point Bosnia thinks it's keeping it to mainstream society should set. Men and boys begin to see it as a legitimate pastime. While bureaus -- inundated with images of females as sexual objects its orchards or. I'm talented enough but this is now become it is it okay is this means I'm with you on all the arguments this I ride or have -- anybody read to how do you control I I feel I really do I feel bad -- -- he's gonna kinda. Defense in the legislature include me when I was up there yeah which absurdity but what maximize -- unfair revenue you've got assets out they didn't they get support network that's exactly right that's exactly right so. Mentioned we have there's a year or two states that. We're going inaudible where the that he should even be accepting an alcohol. I mean if we gave up that. That there's a realistic peace accord giving. Now the help shorten the buses now. Pop pop -- call me a hypocrite I can -- what the boost show. Not the portal sent -- you've been great to give us sometimes some explanation India going to take some calls this is fabulous 6172666868. Is the number. Let's go to Joe oh caller from Hanson hey Joe welcome Iran yet another Joe -- president RO spokesman for the MBTA. Good morning good morning Joe. All right it's just -- no more common problem a conservative Republican I can't stand any -- all of this guy that we see everyday but -- -- the deal. I feel like this country is going over a waterfall in the world vote in somebody's complain about the seat that was split -- I mean. Any household in this country that has a computer any eight year old kid most clicked twice some miles. It looked at sex with women and animals. It's so all over the -- and not a controlled that I think this is total overreaction I saw them. Advertisement on TV that they show I mean neighbor kid -- about it you say it's not a business out how you when you ready it will -- But that doesn't like to wait -- -- On the -- CNN I guess that's the position of -- -- Joe I don't want to surrender and say the -- out of about I realize that every -- every virtually every image that Madison avenue Hollywood gives -- has it finds a way to -- -- -- into it in the sex message -- considered made to beat the lone -- -- I ain't going all always -- it's just at the wrong place -- an -- I don't know it's -- -- makes the point it's an obvious point it's a great point that he -- -- the computers it -- incredible. In -- -- Ax to access the vulgar vile stuff. That my parents have control over that that's in that's in the family room that's at the kitchen table -- parents and that parent goes to parents are right in the -- -- this bus stop to -- went out of that walk on the Freedom Trail in his seat he has this ideas that you know -- I just think you don't have to give up on that they were behind -- -- it was explained that. Yeah that's you know and Dolly when you watch porn -- -- forests dot -- -- sick sick man Greg is Colin hey Greg you're on the it would Joe pass at Tora Tom -- it's odd Feinberg welcome. Yeah I'm I didn't want to practice this simple standard be average size or approaches and they can show that they're running at -- mainstream publications like the global apparel then let it politico. GI you know -- CIA and I think Joe got -- -- yet Joe -- I'm curious did you ever think of being did you what did the legal the well what do they -- they have the newspaper first incidents are saying yeah approach but one -- the advertisers and putting it in the newspaper. Now that Syria and in an advertiser might not given the declining circulation Q and did you -- -- newspapers and on one. Well it's I and I have to believe that in these stories every quarter now of ad revenues down at the local newspapers. I have to believe that the that they're not getting extra pick you themselves. -- answer to -- I'm in a financial stress that -- that didn't Abbas mr. presenter of the people at the T have is that is unimaginable really is -- -- sympathetic to the goal and I love the idea of those bus -- I think that's very creative very good good stuff out applaud it and I do applauded as a taxpayer and just. I want to both ways jury can hear it in my voice I wanted to do all that business like stuff -- -- But then I say wait a minute I don't want to have to explain this to my little -- -- Let's go to Jennifer she's scholar from benefit hey Jennifer -- next -- the it would Joe pass at -- from the MBTA. Hi how are you doing great. Harm would it be the equivalent of -- Joe camel ads that are considered to be pandering that children. That's a good question catch a pass to -- when the legal guys were going gals. We're going over the propriety of the ads it was a lot of controversy over the Joe camel land. In some people was suggesting there was sexual conflict connotation in the and other people just -- in about this is kind of this is the visual addictive. Scheme of big tobacco companies what's what's the position of the T right now and -- on an. I doubt that's the easy one because tobacco. Are. Are prohibited -- property. So that Eddie yeah Joe camel or over or what -- whatever it would be allowed on. -- OK not now I got a perfectly in his that the arrangement Joe peasants are not golf ball -- not on the US Supreme Court but the US Supreme Court says. That new DNC is a protected form of First Amendment. Expression and freedom protective funds that just pick up articles bounce around a little bit and -- making a political statement -- -- protected nobody can do anything about it. It is tobacco which up until a couple of years ago was you know widely used by everybody. That does not you you can't apparently constitutionally be and that tell me the world the legal world does not upside now -- -- in particular the US a pro -- act is not out signs that. I'm going to the Supreme Court how but the feminist argument here which would be. You're not allowing a cigarette character to be on a billboard for some innocent voluntary activity that self destructive but doesn't do anyone else much charm. Versus pornography which leads to a whole day Dick degradation of half of half of the population at an -- you know this is where rice actually say that comfort comfortably improbably I am absolutely of -- -- the -- this is outrageous. Depiction the next -- dressed like -- to remind under -- yeah absolutely. Let's that I appreciate the club that was a great observation -- Mike is Colin from previous hey Mike what's going on you are on the it would Joe pass at Tara from the MBTA. Hey good morning guys I want to say that as long is that the added. As a partial isn't it taking some sort of immoral. Image it's no different than when -- granddaughter comedy going to drive past the bully ghetto up but not route 100 day yet. And movie title is blast to right -- on top of the forty -- build. What -- or that that's true but again make that let's let's make the distinction yet. Which is driving by that movie theater and she's with her friend she's gonna be 161718. I'll shoot me in the back your car right now you took her after the -- -- -- yesterday's USA today going by that same billboard but the difference is this is government control property where you know they have extra sale over. What the guidelines are yup yup an image of it is if if it's a good point because it goes also to the point of the come. -- inundation we inundated with these type of images the imagery that America portrays for the rest of -- -- -- bar sex drenched society an -- you know it's it's not appreciate the call -- Mary is no mean we just lost Mary let's go to Michael -- might direct the it would -- -- -- from the -- I eichel speaking there yeah -- -- come through loud click OK great -- on the terms of that the the larger issue of encroachment. You know others await the availability of rob pornographic material -- -- we should give up its parents and it felt like -- think. Regardless so that we do everything we can to prevent that their children and and and I try to -- -- the computer earth at least minimize your exposure of that so. But he the notion that this is an overwhelming title wave and therefore we should give up the actual is actual people. Yeah -- promoting giving up I'm promoting. Pick the fights where there there -- you know put much more -- my point my notes and read -- a no surrender that's the way to do it no surrender on this stuff Michael right. The point. Of the question for Joe okay well this isn't that complicated what the total amount of money. Asked if we pull out at right now. 82 weeks to keep blank we are the next part -- -- leaking Gideon. And whatever lost equity cap that supplier. What it's all about mark. We I would have to check with the most of the company that handled out of the building up I I did not -- what. I don't know much smaller numbers were. Our members look at the look at the simple I understand you've got policies and guidelines this is a great chance for you to -- those rules -- a great line. And you're hearing pretty clearly brought the level of outrage if this were slightly -- so it's double -- that he -- And split the losses with -- -- contractor -- load is to what the previous course that we are much more important issues that little recession here. And we keep moving that line. Then the contractor's story -- say you know what we need to get out of this -- or we really don't build -- children. Let you know that threat -- rent. -- portrait thought erector sets and say look you know this is this yes yes. Increases awareness -- children are the existence of pornography. Okay -- pornography may be undone particularly in my four year old -- secure. And that's the way you want to -- for as long as possible Michael appreciate the call at Joe pass that are you are good sport I recognize what you just said by the way in response to Michael you keep moving that line producer -- that contract becomes meaningless. To the van door and then all of a sudden you're back at square one that's where the legislature told -- -- get going to get office where one get out they aren't stepping in real. Right Independent and apparently this movie is. It's a major motion picture that's rated R so are we so that'll be the next time -- Motion picture company comes to one of our advertising contractors with the rated -- picture what do we now -- well -- we got to reject the last rated our pictures so. Joe -- that -- you know me I'm still into the sound the music I think that's the greatest movie of all my view other best joke that's a -- -- special showing how did you go because that you know that it you say no need to you know he's the press spokesman -- he's in an octopus is this it's. I I'm furious about it you -- that Mike's been our last call dumps around let this stop. Don't surround you know what that's the message he said that this is an R rated movie from Hollywood nuisance I heard those words I understood anything R rated from Hollywood as pornographic that's you got it absolutely. Okay says. That's what we like we're gonna finish the last Thelma Thomas then aren't our first off it is in his boundaries what he's our. In these special viewing room with yeah so what lemon pledge satellite I don't know 97 is that they are in Chad are absolutely all that and ball we come back. On veterans for a may have 680 to be black as well.
