NYC won't touch anti-groping subway ads

Subway groping seems to be a regular frottage industry these days, to the point where New York City transit officials have shelved a planned anti-groping campaign because they fear it will actually encourage perverts. Not even reports that “63 percent [of female riders] claimed to have been sexually harassed” on the subway can sway the MTA. Part of the problem is that a similar campaign in Boston (featuring the ad shown here and others) has led to increased reportings of gropings.
