What do you think?


(I sort of think its a cool idea knowing the context of the novel.)




Seats on 42nd Street subway Shuttle cars are wrapped with symbols from Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, intended to carry commuters into the alternate history of the Amazon TV series,The Man in the High Castle, in which the Axis Powers were victorious. [UPDATE: Amazon has decided to pull the ads.]


“Half the seats in my car had Nazi insignias inside an American flag, while the other half had the Japanese flag in a style like the World War II design,” said straphanger Ann Toback. “So I had a choice, and I chose to sit on the Nazi insignia because I really didn’t want to stare at it.”


Toback said she doesn’t object to the TV show as a work of fiction, but insists, “I shouldn’t have to sit staring at a Nazi insignia on my way to work.”


As it happens, Toback is the executive director of The Workmen’s Circle, an organization founded in 1892 that fosters Jewish identity through culture and social justice causes. The group also traces its resistance to European Fascism to 1933.


MTA spokesperson Adam Lisberg confirmed that one Shuttle train was decked out in imagery from the online TV series, using conformable vinyl wrapping. The show’s advertising campaign began with 260 subway station posters on November 9, and the Shuttle wrap runs November 15 through December 14.

Jessica Jones has been more erotica and less Marvel. I'm somewhat disappointed

I'm hoping that changes as the episodes progress.
