Random Scandal Sheet for Sunday 12/9/12

What Chicago is talking about this week:

The Red Line.

I'm not talking about THAT red line ... not the one that Netanyahu drew on a map at the UN to explain the Israeli-Iraqi conflict-to-come.

And I'm not talking about THAT red line ... not the one that was on all of the Sunday morning news shows earlier today courtesy of the current administration's policy on Syria and chemical weapons.

But THIS red line (the one graphically represented in the photo) and something much less pre-armageddon-esque, come to think of it.  'Cause it's THIS red line that has passengers whose photos are taken and posted to Facebook (that's the modern version ... the original seems to be circa 2010 and a blog).  It's similar to the People of Walmart phenomenon, but with more of a local flavor -- and it's not restricted to just the red line, but covers all the people of the CTA who "deserve" to be mocked.

WARNING -- it's real life, which means it will be equal parts nasty, dirty and inappropriate, so view at your own risk.  [And some may say that it's picking on the poor folk, so know your own sensitivity level.]
