Advertising on Municipal Transportation Agency (MTA) property, or as authorized under any contract with the MTA, constitutes a nonpublic forum. No such advertisement shall:
-- be false, misleading or deceptive;
-- concern a declared political candidate or ballot measure scheduled for consideration by the voters in an upcoming election, or an initiative petition submitted to the San Francisco Department of Elections;
-- appear to promote the use of firearms;
-- be clearly defamatory;
-- be obscene or pornographic;
-- advocate imminent lawlessness or violent action;
-- promote alcoholic beverages or tobacco products;
-- infringe on any copyright, trade or service mark, title or slogan

And what, exactly, do you think would constitute "obscene or pornographic" in San Fransisco? ???

You know, I am remembering the old Superman movie, where Lex Luther was going to initiate the big one on the San Andreas Fault. In the movies it's such a terrible thing. In real life however, I think I would be ok with the City by the Bay becoming the City IN the bay. ::)

I tend to nit pic: so here goes.
.....
-- appear to promote the use of firearms;
.........
Does this mean no advertising for any future Olympic games or Pan American games?
Does this mean they won't run ads for police recruits?
And of course I'm sure they don't run ads for the armed forces by definition.
.....
-- be clearly defamatory;
.........
So vaguely defamatory is okay? As in: "Does Al Gore's wife know he's stupid?"
