ConEd Ad Tagline 'Disastrously Ironic'

Before over 100,000 Queens residents lost power for a full fucking week — just a goofy tagline. Now, a disastrously ironic one. And CEO Kevin Burke still doesn’t even understand what “it” is. I was riding the uptown 6 yesterday morning and happened to walk into this car, which conEd had wallpapered end-to-end, top-to-bottom, probably before the blackouts. Not cheap, that media buy. Probably a 4-6 week run. One couldn’t expect you red tape-wrapped morons to remove it before you got your money’s worth — even if it makes you look ridiculously more moronic.
