Jenny McClary immediately noticed a problem with this Vermont tourism ad on the T. Really observant types will also quickly note that the ad mentions Clevland Circle (thrifty Vermonters saving on their 'e' budget?), but shows the train continuing from Lechmere (or should that be Lechmr?).
Hmm. If the T did extend the Green Line a bit further west, it would probably look something like this.

That's doesn't look like the Green Line Extension we were expecting.
Esoteric joke?

For a long time the sign on the platform of the Cleveland Circle station was actually spelled "Clevland", I think it was fixed earlier this year
Maybe Vermont hired a T worker

The same one who did up the sign at Government Center telling you which "trolly" to take to Fenway.

But there really are trolls at Government Center! You have to pay your troll to get in through the turnstile!

They had something similar last year for Canadian tourism at south station! Let me see if I can find the picture.
Edit: Here it is!

I saw those same ads in two other cities, appended to the transit maps, including ads in Calgary urging visits to Ontario.
It was weird coming home and seeing the exact same ads at West Medford commuter rail station that I had seen at Marlborough Station in Calgary and on the Metro in DC.

Hurling insults at someone for actually knowing something about something. Gee, thats entertainment!
Why don't you just hit the library and work on your shortcomings instead of being so insecure?

Apparently, they didn't account for literal-mindedness. Jeesh.
I would say that is more

I would say that is more logical-mindedness than literal.
