Nicole Ferraro wrote a screed published in the New York Times earlier this week in which she took to task those expressing public affection on the subway and in restaurants. Now, some can go to far but the amount of venom Ms. Ferraro relays is quite over the top for something that could also be seen as a positive thing in light of the wilding going on in say Times Square. People loving one another, holding one another and showing they really care for each other. How horrible is that? Johnny kisses the missus and holds her hand in public, newsflash, that's not stopping because you don't enjoy it.
Johnny you say, can you give us an example of the rant? Of course citizen:
"I have news for you, canoodling commuters: These are subways, not private gondolas. Consider the probability that the spot where you are kissing each other was just inhabited by snot-faced children and several people with swine flu."
Huh? Yeah Nicole, but just because they're kissing means NOTHING. Even if they simply sat in their seats reading a magazine it wouldn't change the fact that snot-faced children with swine flu (and maybe diphtheria) still were sitting in that seat previously. Don't yawn while reading the Jersey City Desk on your iPhone, a snot-faced kid was sitting in that seat and you could get germs (thanks for the concern trolling on your part Nicole).
You can read the whole rant here and tell us what you think. It's our opinion Ms. Ferraro should, in the words of John Riggins to Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor long ago "Loosen up Sandy baby".
