Some of you may be aware of Tillman, the skateboarding bulldog. Let me introduce you to Melvin, the skateboarding Rhino. Melvin (christening my own), is the center-piece of the first funny public transportation safety campaign I've ever encountered. Most safety posters on public transportation are designed to scare the s**t out of you. The warning on the accompanying posters reads: "If you saw a rhino on a skateboard heading your way, you'd get out of the way, right?...A tram weighs about as much as 30 rhinos..."
Personally, I can't help cackling at this one: Its especially funny if you've had some shall we say "happy herb," and you've got Credence Clearwater Revival's "
Lookin' Out On My Back Door" playing on your Ipod, when you see a tram painted like this:
Try to picture Melvin rocking down your street on his gigantic board, and I guarantee you'll crack a smile. I'd certainly get out of Melvin's path. But I'd stay nearby just to watch his skills!
