*Everyday Chatter
Cemusa steps it up. A tipster sent in the following photo and writes: This "shiny new stand with five plasma TVs...replaced a shiny new stand without the monitors that was put there a couple of months ago. Talk about out with the old, in with the new. As I was walking away, someone asked me 'So what do you think?' Turns out it was a rep from CEMUSA. He said they installed eight of these in the Times Square area in the past couple of days." So...what do you think? Do we need shiny boxes wrapped in multiple TVs?

I hate to side with Cemusa but, for whatever it's worth, I think the TVs make sense in Times Square, which is already a brightly lit, animated spectacle. If this gets implemented elsewhere in the city, that seems intrusive.
Funny how TVs on the side of buildings are like bedbugs. You let one get in...
Absolutely not.
Since television basically broadcasts propeganda, its bad enough that people freely choose to allow this in their own homes, for whatever reason. But to get a dose of this just to use a street (or taxi, or restaurant, or elevator), whether you like it or not, is intolerable. And this means any street.
And the ones on the street will have no off switch.
It should be noted that the commercial ads displayed on these screens share the space with Subway updates and weather forecast info.
hate it so much.
i'm so tired of seeing tv's every where- cabs, elevators, i feel so over-loaded i don't even look. i can get subway info and weather forecasts on my blackberry,tv,newspaper, and laptop (and all at the same time!)why do we need more??? we dont'.
Bus transportation that people need is deleted (my B24 is pffft on the weekends and so is the 50th Street crosstown), but we get fancy shiny toys for the tourists, and light-up signs on the L platforms that announce when the train is coming -- no choice of another train line on that platform, so what's the point?
