MTA will get the L out of there



A follow-up to the post over the weekend about the MTA's new FML signs... Patrick Hedlund at DNAinfo reported yesterday that the MTA will change the sign...

"I guarantee you the people who install the signs have absolutely no idea what that [phrase] means," said NYC Transit spokesman Charles Seaton, noting that the new sign will display the letter L below the F and M.




No word yet on the JZ line.

why don;t they just change it to FLM? knowing the MTA this will somehow be a $10,000 change that takes 2 months

Seems a little silly that the MTA would spend a dim to change that. Big deal.

Ok, I'm an idiot. What does FML mean anyway?

So what, who cares! This is New York City, if you're not saying "fuck my life" on a regular basis you're either rich as hell or visiting from a hippie commune. Not to mention that Internet memes come and go. It's not like the sign said "LOL." Weaksauce, MTA!

never heard FML, but then, I'm an approaching middle-aged fart. I highly doubt anyone over the age of 26 knows what this means anyway.
