The way the 'after' is emphasized leads me to believe that WMATA goons broke into the Green Mountain ad exec's home with baseball bats and "encouraged" him to change the message to promote no eating/drinking on the Metro. It's the only explanation that makes sense.

The AFTER is what really caught my attention. Seems someone wanted to make sure they got the message. Rock!

Right, that's what we want WMATA to focus on, "the right message."

Now do something of substance. Do something to improve rider safety. Do something to reinvigorate the system and rebuild ridership confidence-- you know, big boy and big girl decisions.

It's easy for mewling suits to appear decisive when nothing real is at stake.
