Is a subway etiquette reality show next?

2015 is shaping up to be the Year of Etiquette in our subway system, with the MTA finally creating a subway etiquette campaign. Will it effect change? Probably not really, but now you can point and shame people in real time if you've got nothing better to do.
If the posters somehow confused you—maybe you were curious what was so wrong about flying red humanoids crashing into subway poles?—perhaps the below video created by CJ Koegel and Chris Zelig will help. Here, the duo brings the subway etiquette campaign to life, with impressive pole skills and unitards. According to Runnin' Scared, you'll also see some Classics—the duo were "unable to find all twelve new subway ads, [and also] resurrected old ads such as 'Don't Become A Statistic. Stand Back.'"
