Kung Fu Recycling on the Metro
Metro has created an amusing public service announcement extolling the virtues of recycling. In the straight-to-YouTube video "Littering Rabbit, Recycling Dragon," a Kung Fu master confronts his long lost brother on a Metro train. An argument ensues over whether leaving a newspaper on a train is a sort of gift to fellow passengers who might appreciate the freebie, or just plain littering. You can guess which side the Kung Fu master, and eventually his brother, takes.

Metro needs to raise fares again so they can stop producing low-budget videos like this. I'd happily spend $10 each way for a better production.

Umm, Jon, it's intentional. It's a spoof of the old badly dubbed chop-socky movies from years ago.

The commercial or the entire Metro system?

Also, this is off topic, but does anyone else think that John Catoe looks a little bit like Al Jarreau? His wife and/or girlfriend must be very happy.
Let's hope he can get the Metro to be as good as his looks.

So was this the real reason of the Orange Line delays last week? How long did it take them to film that awful thing.....
