That's A Wrap! SF Taxi Driver Recoils In Horror Over 'Big Top' Ads

Welcome to the ugly sweater party called The San Francisco Taxicab Commission. Taxi wraps are giant advertising decals applied to local taxis, which have reached a painful zenith with the circus big top theme. An anonymous taxi driver blogging at SF Taxi Live sounds the fashion alarm and defiantly urges the Commission to put the kibosh on "horrible and embarrassing" wrap ads:

"I feel horrible for the drivers who are being stuck with this nightmare of a cab. Not only would I refuse to drive a taxi like this, I would refuse to ride in one. I as a taxi rider want to retain some of my dignity. I don't want to ride in a big top on wheels. It looks like a gag vehicle from an 80's teen movie. I urge the Taxicab Commission to cease permitting these grotesque taxi wraps, immediately."
