Crushing or perving? Hot or Not comes to the T

By adamg on Sun, 01/29/2012 - 6:05pm

The Metro reports on the imminent arrival of a Web site that will let you take pictures of people on the T, then post them for everybody's amusement sober assessments. The founders of Boston T Crush, based on sites they have up in London and New York, promise it will be "complimentary" rather than "creepy" and say Bostonians are getting a special treat - ours will be the first site to devote space to the ladies.

Motion said the idea came to him and several friends during a night of drinking; and as soon as it launched, it soared.

I feel like when you're talking about something from the Boston Metro the word "reports" should always be in quotes.

Ha, I can't wait until one of our fifth rudest objects to having their picture taken by a stranger on the T. Yeah, I can see this not working out so well here in ole Beantown.

Otherwise I can't see how it would be any more legal to photograph bummed-out looking working class folks or homeless people on the T without their permission, then post their images on an art-photography site or sell the photos. Photography is generally protected by the First amendment, AFAIK.

Great just one more annoyance to deal with on the MBTA and degrade our quality of life.

Yet one more way to harass and stalk women, it seems.

Eek! I blog about people on the train (www.hertrainstories.blogspot.com) However, taking pictures brings it to a whole new level! I will be dressed to the 9's on the MBTA from now on. Yikes!!

Reminds me of that thing someone put up last year where you could rate the appearance of female BU students.
