MBTA and War Of The Worlds Join Forces

To Whoever Decided To Plaster South Station With Ads For War Of The Worlds: Yesterday Bostonist decided to take the T from South Station over to Cambridge, and was quite amused to find that War Of The Worlds posters had taken over the station. Since the advent of "no digital photography" on the subway, Bostonist can't show you the horror thoroughly, but picture it. First off, the posters were everywhere, as if manic-totally-in-love-ya'll! Tommy Tom Cruise put them up himself. War Of The Worlds has awful advertising, with that ugly swirly "alien hand" red tentacle things on a black background, with intense type-face claiming "THEY'RE ALREADY HERE" "DAD YOU'RE SCARING ME" "ARE WE THE LAST PEOPLE ALIVE?" "KEEP YOUR EYES ON ME" "IT LOOKED LIKE THE WHOLE WORLD WAS ON FIRE". Because when Bostonist wants to see post-apocalyptic advertising featuring a photo of a terrifed Dakota Fanning, Bostonist totally wants to be on the subway, right??? Good job, advertisers. Great job, MBTA! Bostonist forever-crush Orson Welles is rolling in his grave.
