OMG!
Is that for real?!
What a little control freak. He needs to be stopped. All the subliminal messages in the world couldn't make me like or respect that little dictator. Someone should paint NO TERM LIMITS on the steps of Gracie Mansion. Maybe he'd look at the message from time to time and eventually get it.
Paid advertising or not...IT'S OFFENSIVE!!! Is it an ethical conflict of interest?
Everyone is thinking this man will be gone when his term is over. He's going to keep controlling this city until the money runs out and the money won't run out!
put it at the bottom of the urinals and toilets.
What the #@#%!!
Relax, Queenscrap morons.
This is an ad for Bloomberg, the company. It's not an ad for Bloomberg, the mayor.
Yes, we bumpkins from Queens are well aware of that, thanks.
Looks like you're the moron.
Bloomberg the mayor owns Bloomberg the company, which he very humbly named after himself.
So, are you suggesting that Bloomberg LP is now not allowed to advertise in NYC because one of its trademarks ("Bloomberg") happens to be the same as the name of the mayor?
It by the way does not matter that one is named after the other. Last time I checked it's still perfectly legal for corporations to advertise their trademarks and products.
Of course it's legal.
You're completely missing the point.
"So, are you suggesting that Bloomberg LP is now not allowed to advertise in NYC because one of its trademarks ("Bloomberg") happens to be the same as the name of the mayor?"
Um, no.
What pineapple tree did you fall out of Tassilo?
Last I checked, it was my constitutional right to question and criticize.
This is subliminal advertising meant to boost the mayor as well as his company and if I want to speak out against it, I will.
Yes, evidently I am. What is the point?

"This is subliminal advertising meant to boost the mayor as well as his company and if I want to speak out against it, I will."
Please suggest a way for Bloomberg, the company, to advertise in a way that would not subliminally boost the mayor as well.
I'm well aware that the mayor is not a popular person among the readership of this blog. Nonetheless, there are no points to be made here. It's like asking BMW to advertise without using the three letters BMW.
Check out the Wall Street station on the Lex. Same stuff.
Big Brother? LTIS (laughing 'til I shit)!
The man is a fucking 5' 6" shrimp with delusions of grandeur!
Musolini used the same tactics...big photo blow up posters of his face spread all around Italy.
In the end he failed.
So will (wannabee) Emperor Bloomberg.
The wind is shifting in America and the times they are a changin'.
I look forward to the next election when he's turned out of city hall!
You can't fool all of the people all of the time little Mikey!
Pay no attention to that little wuss behind the curtain.
Tassilo is just one of Bloomberg's latest "pussy boys".
Uh...after Der Mayor is finished with your pretty ass Tassy...a little cocoa butter will ease the soreness!

Queens Crap -- it's a blog where you have to recognize when people are being wry and ironic if you want to play along. Complaining about it is rather trollish.
any yippies out there? a little black paint will do wonders.
Did someone say 1984????
War is peace,
Freedom is slavery,
Ignorance is strength,
DIVERSITY IS STRENGTH!!!
Herr Parseval:
I hope your handlers in the Bloomberg organization are paying you well for being such a blatant corporate shill!
any yippies out there? a little black paint will do wonders.
MF: Why do you ask?
Is the 'party over'??
Heh heh heh.......
DIVERSITY IS STRENGTH!!!
DIVERSITY IS VIBRANT!!!
the same lighting advertisement technique has been
built into the steps leading to the fountain at Lincoln Center on tenth avenue at 65 street.
one wonders how many legal actions against the ownership will take place when serious falls on the steps occur?no railings at this location.

HAH!!!
ADMIT already that you did NOT know that Bloomberg LP is a financial news and data service company!
As much as I HATE to see our world LITTERED with ads - it IS a great ad. From the placement of the ad to its simple message - it's an ad people will remember and talk about - just like we are doing here.
Many people are like YOU i.e. they know the man but not the company, so the ad accomplishes rather brilliantly what all advertising attempts to do - bring your attention to their product!
You learned something new again today Grasshopper.
Deke - "Yippies"???!! . . . . .?
"ADMIT already that you did NOT know that Bloomberg LP is a financial news and data service company!"
Thanks for pointing this out. We all thought Bloomberg won his billions in the lottery...
hmmmm - ok - this time I'll give you the benefit of the doubt!
The identifiers concerned are those used in the Bloomberg Professional service and those underlying its suite of enterprise data products. The vendor indicates that its own customer requests have prompted the move; shelling out for proprietary instrument data has long been a bugbear of the financial services market. The move is therefore likely to go down well with the user community given the often high cost involved in purchasing this data and the recessionary pressures being faced by the market, although questions remain.
Among them are Bloomberg’s future plans for the free symbology (rival Thomson Reuters has famously twisted and turn on the accessibility of its RIC codes over the years). More significantly, some observers question the usefulness of a symbology that is essentially composed of codes generated randomly by Bloomberg-proprietary algorithms (which, incidentally, Bloomberg also plans to publish) and thus lacks the kind of semantics increasingly required by clients’ pricing, algorithmic and execution engines.
I'm sure "Babs" can explain it to you all.
Gotta love the condescension shown toward the people who have a problem with the ad. Maybe if you read the link to Suzannah's blog you would get a tiny inkling of why it may irritate a few people.
There are two forms of law in this city, one for Bloomberg and one for everyone else. There have been news articles pointing out how the Mayor has used his civic position to increase the profile and profits of his media company.
Barbara may be right, he needs to run the ad because Bloomberg is a struggling businessman. The dollar he pays himself annually is not enough to buy a soul.
"There have been news articles pointing out how the Mayor has used his civic position to increase the profile and profits of his media company. "
I don't see anything wrong with the above.
As long as someone earns their fortune ethically and not illegally or criminally - it's fine by me.
@ Babs
I guess you approve of corruption because government officials should not use their position for private gain. Maybe you missed the point but Bloomberg is not ethical.
The decisions he has made as Mayor and the increased profits of his media company, are unethical because of the conflict of interest.
http://www.villagevoice.com/2009-09-01/news/bloomberg-keeps-his-billions-separate-from-his-mayoral-obligations-yeah-right/
At the perfect level to be peed on.
Tsk, tsk, tsk (yawn)..."Blabs" is at it again!
Pop your meds before you post next time please.
If you need a soapbox...I've got one to offer you in my garage.

Good read actually Defective - you've made your point - clumsily and probably accidentally showhow - but it was a good point and it's well taken.
:)
Well Babs, that link was quite eye-opening, wasn't it? Now let's see. What else could you have been wrong about? Oh yeah-EVERYTHING!
By the way, you are deFective and McNutty is the deTective. Get it?
@Babs
Your too cool for school

In Barbara's world people get hurt tripping over her ego

Looks who's talking! It's the village idiot Babs. You're an annoying troll whose "sage" comments leave a lot to be desired.
