Perhaps you've seen the posters for the new movie Norbit. I, of course, avert my eyes whenever they intrude upon my line of vision, but I've gotten the idea that it's something in the line of those Eddie Murphy Nutty Professor monstrosities; the poster features an enormously fat-suited Eddie Murphy in a hot pink negligee, on top of another Eddie Murphy, male version, with an afro and a shocked expression. Like I said, I try not to look directly at these posters or commercials, but they're hard to avoid.

I've spoken of my loathing for fat suits here before (bottom of the page on that link), so I'll just trust that you understand my horror and dismay that they've put up a poster for this movie in my PATH station, right at the spot at the bottom of the stairs where I turn to step onto the platform.

It's an unpleasant jolt each morning as I forget it'll be there, then see it, then whip my head around and gasp sharply and almost stumble into the person next to me in my attempt to avoid it.

I could go down the escalator and enter the platform from another location, but it would be much less convenient, and it would be letting the fat suits win!
