'Teen Titans': Poster children for vandals:
Well, summer is finally here. That means steamy temperatures, a slower pace . . . and larceny. This summer's item du jour, at least as far as the MTA is concerned, are posters advertising Cartoon Network's "Teen Titans" series, which have been disappearing from subway stops and trains at an alarming rate. The series won't debut until July 19 (9 p.m.), but already the posters are being swiped daily. Since the ad campaign began about a week ago, the MTA has requested an additional 1,000 posters to replace those stolen from subways and trains. There's even a web site, dccomics.com, that lists where posters are still available (to be ripped off?) - and they're available on eBay. "Teen Titans," based on the comic book series, is being produced under the guidance of Glen Murakami ("Batman Beyond"). (NY Post)
