Parsing The Future

At first I was a little confused on what exactly I was suppose to be looking for. But then I started just browsing around to try find something that might catch my attention for longer than 30 seconds. So after 30 minutes or so, I came across an article in the City Room Section called "Cleanliness Is Next to Greek-Design Godliness"

It talks about how the Metropolitan Transportation Authority put out and anti-litter poster which had someone throwing away a coffee cop in the trash can with the words "Be Part of the Solution Not the Pollution". The coffee cup was a little blurry since whoever took the picture had it in a certain setting to where it had the movement a bit unclear. I don't know too much about taking pictures, I just know that one someone takes a picture with movement a lot of times it comes out a little blurry.
The reason why I'm talking about it so much is because in the article they talk about how they wondered if it was a Starbucks coffee cup or a Dunkin Donuts coffee cup. They even contacted the spokesperson for the authority and in which he states that he doesn't want to blame a certain establishment of customers for the problem of leaving spilled coffee cups on the subway. Which I agree upon because littering doesn't have a brand name.
They then go on about the coffee cups and how in recent years coffee cups or actually whats contained in the cup is going up in prices. How we pay $3 for a cup whose value should only be $0.50. Then they quote saying "Perhaps the M.T.A is suggesting that upscale coffee drinkers liter more than the diner customers?"

And to be honest, I feel this article is way over analyzed. I understand the meaning and the analyzation of ads. But the purpose of having the poster up to begin with was to tell people "TO NOT LITTER!" You catch a lot of people, not just in the subways and not just coffee cups, anywhere and anything, who are too lazy to put their trash away in the garbage. Its one of the many problems we go through in this society and the M.T.A was just speaking out on this issue.
