NYT television critic Virginia Heffernan had a great blog post yesterday taking a look at the bizzaro commercials being played inside New York City taxis advertising the 24/7 cable news Kremlin propaganda channel Russia Today. I’ve also seen the ads on the Washington DC Metro and all over several U.S. airports. Heffernan writes: “The newest enigmatic Russia TV ad, which is in heavy rotation in many NYC cabs, is graphically fascinating–and completely disconcerting. I can’t get that mistaken-pill thing–the trucker with the blister pack–out of my head.“
