This could just be some sort of guerilla art, but it’s pretty interesting either way.
The MARC commuter trains between Baltimore and DC are sporting these terrornoia posters styled after the heyday of Stalin’s totalitarian regime, when Soviet citizens were exhorted to spy on their neighbors and fink them out for suspicious behavior. And they say irony is dead.
Update: One of the commenters to this article (linked to in the MetaFilter discussion thread) found out that the poster is “the product of a campaign being run by CSX, the freight transportation company which owns the rail lines MARC operates on.” One of the comments in the MetaFilter thread also points out that a poster in London is similarly creepy, while examples in Boston (PDF) and New York are less innocuous.
