"Avid collector of dust" is a fantastic burn for a boring person.

It's hard to pick out my favourite line, but it's probably that one :lol:

I think I'd have to go with the 'bird' bit, but frankly there isn't a line in there that isn't pure gold. I love how AI can currently string together structurally correct language but struggles with meaning and context, to the point where it unintentionally creates almost witty lines like "In lieu of flowers, send Brenda more life."

But... what were they going for? I don't understand what it's meant to be a word play on. Stampede-o?

Is it literally that Edinburgh has a paedo problem on trams?

I'd have thought if he was notorious enough to warrant a poster they'd have caught him by now.

Presumably it's a play on torpedo. Not that it makes much sense either way.

It's so painfully obvious that it's a bad idea, you have to wonder whether it was actually seen by more than one person before being printed. I can understand one person not noticing the problem if they've been on the train of thought that brought them there, but surely the second that it was seen by someone else it should have been picked up. Even without the paedophile allusion, relating public transport to a torpedo is just a stupid idea because it's not only a weapon designed to kill, but it also calls to mind ramming cars out of the way.

So I have to assume that it's intentional, someone going for an "edgy" angle to get it on social media.

Edit: Actually it didn't occur to me that referring to the weight of the tram probably does mean that it's supposed to call to mind ramming cars out of the way. It's an ad to make people avoid the things in the road, not use them. That bit at least makes more sense now.

I went to and fro Edinburgh Airport a few years ago using the tram and I'm happy to report there were no pedos.

Was a bloke on a stag do who mooned the driver though.

Why not just use "Tram-pede"...surely it makes that idea immediately clear then?

I’ll hazard a guess and say that’s what it does say and someone shopped it. Still…. Funny :p
