Oh man, for a second after reading this I thought I’d suffered a stroke. I double took. I shook my head in disbelief. What am I reading? Why are these words not computing? Am I dying?
“ destination better “
Wait, surely I’ve misread that… Surely no one could ever think that “destination better” is a good catch phrase for a train company?
No matter which way I think of it, it just doesn’t make sense…
Maybe they are playing on the fact that their train company sucks and needs to get better… but even in that case, it’s so poorly phrased that it makes me blink several times in confusion and question my sexuality. Put a fucking semi-column in the middle or something! God, what am I, gay?
Oh wait; maybe it’s a pun, because trains have destinations! Wait, no no… it’s not even a pun, because that would imply that it has a double meaning, and as far I know “better” is not a place you can travel on a train. Ah, dammit… in fact, I can’t even discern a single meaning, let alone a double one. I shake my fist to the heavens and scream “What does this mean!” But God has obviously abandoned this planet. Yes, this much is obviously to me now…
Oh… everything I thought I knew about life… seems to just be… wrong. I mean fuck, someone got paid to come up with that!
Destination better, people. Destination better.
