I do not know if it is a regional thing since I'm in Long Island, but they other day on MTV there was one of those AIDS awareness commericals the KNOW-HIV one and they repainted a SEPTA bus in all of these funky colors. Has anybody else caught this?

Not sure if this had anything to do with the commercial, but for a few weeks in the late Summer the area around 12th and Locust and Locust and Camac Streets were also painted "funky"colors. Street signs,fire hydrants and the sidesof buildings got these spirals of color. A few of the street signs still have the colors but the buildings were repainted. Even the 12th Street end of the PATCO tunnel was painted as such. I meant to get there to take a few pics before it "erased" but never did.

I just seen the commercial the first time this morning. It was a Neoplan bus that was used. The graphics are pretty cool.
