SPANK ACORN!
WOBBLY EMBRYO!!
WET MASH!!!
I was talking to some peeps last night, some of who hadn’t come across the famous (as I thought) London Anagram Tube map. It was a mini net sensation back in early 2006, before – believe it or not – it had to be taken down following threats from Transport for London’s lawyers. As if a humorous map of the tube is going to harm their public image!?
Whole sad story here [1] (harms TFL’s image much more than some silly map)
Anyway, as we know, it’s impossible to get anything much taken down off the net by bully-boy tactics, and I found a version of the map after about 30 seconds googling web searching. Plus a load of other humorous and interesting variations on Harry Beck’s iconic and beautiful London Tube map.
Hopefully this post won’t call down dismal locust-like hordes of cold-hearted legal types.
