It’s sad we even need an ad campaign to tell people how to take care of their babies but that’s the mission of a current New York City transit campaign for the city’s Administration for Children’s Services and Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (mental hygiene? that’s a new one). Unfortunately, there are idiots in this world that do need to be told some very obvious things about caring for a baby. Trouble is, this campaign seems to confuse more than educate – well, at least to those mentally hygiene-challenged types.
Ironi Sans sent us this video clip of two of the campaign’s subway cards placed next to each other. The first reads, “Don’t Leave Him Alone.” The second reads, “It’s Safest For Him to Sleep Alone.” That sort of “education” is sure to make a mentally hygiene-challenged person’s logic loop explode which is quite the opposite, we’re sure, of the campaign’s intent.
