I came across a blog from a local here and I wanted to repost an interesting point Maximus makes on the recent rash of MTA commemorated posters for the 100th anniversary of the subway. This particular case is the artist, Kathy Jakobsen, is a committed Scientologist. She not only used the poster to promote her own religion, but also to plug a children’s book she wrote and a museum that exhibits her work. Sneaky and obnoxiously self-promoting.
(The Scientologists have a track record of dishonest self-promotion… e.g., secretly buying huge quantities of their own books to get them on the best-seller lists.)
