"Now the Metropolitan Transportation Authority is about to launch a new campaign to crack down on the problem."
Oooooo, a CAMPAIGN. That will really stop those gropers.
"The agency expects to distribute 2,000 posters throughout the subway system that tell people who are sexually harassed on trains to report it to an employee or police officer."
If you can find one, which is highly unlikely. An MTA employee will just look right through you and the police don't want to be bothered with minor crimes like this.
The campaign should say "If you are groped in the subway, turn around and knee the man in the groin". End of problem.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 8/7/08 at 2:05pmGetting groped at Subway is part of the fun- I certainly don't go there for those awful sandwiches.

Posted: 8/7/08 at 2:06pmI thought getting groped was one of the perks of riding the subway? I don't know if I want to live in a grope-free world (a free-grope world sounds much better).

Years ago (as the punch line will indicate) a woman I worked with turned to the guy who was leaning on her and rubbing up against her and said "You cannot ride this train AND my butt for no dollar!"
The guy turned purple and left at the next stop.

I actually once saw a couple making out, and the guy had his hand up her skirt all the way to this elbow, practically.
I was stunned.
It was like he was auditioning for the Muppet Show.

Subway groping is the reason I moved to New York!
My butt was once grabbed by a young woman. I was shocked for one of the few times in my life.

I have never been groped.
