No more FML on the F, M and L train interchange at 14th st.... FML. Waste of money in my opinion

[IMG]New York City Transit changed a set of subway signs on 14th Street, after the subway line letters spelled a profane acronym. The signs at the 14th Street and 6th Avenue station in Manhattan needed to be changed, because the M line is replacing the V line. The sign then read "F-M-L," which stands for a vulgar phrase some use when nothing is going their way. The new 14th Street station sign, which separates the "L" from the "F" and "M." "I do think it's funny. It provides a little bit of entertainment when you take the subway," said one straphanger. "It gets rid of your stress. When you see 'FML,' you think of something else." "I think that they could do better things with the money for the city other than come and change a sign," said another. The L train has now been separated from the F and M on the signs and put on a separate line along with the 1, 2 and 3 trains. A spokesman for New York City Transit told the New York Times they decided to change it as soon as they became aware of it, even though the acronym is not widely recognized.[/IMG]

They're more worried about letters than hobos masturbating on the subways. Nice.

Fuck my life, how am I supposed to take the train now?

FML is a vulgar phrase? I fucking hate these pussy motherfuckers that never grew up and I'm so sick of living in a censored world.

I was listening to local radio (clear channel) and heard then censor "bullshit" out of Pink Floyd's "money" the other day. It made my stomach turn.

Grow up already. Fuck.

Shit's nothing. Here in Atlanta they changed our lines to different colors. One line was called the "Yellow" line and it went to a very oriental part of town. One town called Chamblee is known to Atlantans as Chambodia. When the yellow line (now Gold line) came out the Asians went nuts.

FML. I'll never know how to get anywhere in New York now.

They need to man up and embrace it, like Sioux City, Iowa did with their airport code (SUX).
