There were two I saw on the Red line, one between Harvard and Porter Squares and one on the way to Quincy (not sure if it was just on the Braintree line or before JFK/UMass). The weirdest one was a tourism ad of just some kayaks slowly paddling down a river in Vermont. It didn't so much rouse you from your commute stupor as deepen it.

He's America's Composer. Or, since it's in a tunnel and kind of dark, maybe Danny Elfman. Cute but creepy at the same time. Mlwaski, I propose John Williams. He’s America’s Composer.
