<p>A billboard in the Union Square station is kind of like the <em>Inception</em> of Internet references, collecting every advertiser's notion of what is cool/hip on the web and slapping it onto one delightful subway ad.</p>
<p><!--more-->First, the ad is for <a href="http://www.seamless.com/">Seamless</a>, a website popular with hipsters and shut-ins and hipster shut-ins that delivers food straight to your door. Secondly, the ad references not only Reddit, but sub-reddits, which is like--<em>whoa</em>, <em>dude</em>. These ad guys "get" me.</p>
<p>Last but not least, it references Seamless users' penchant for customized “special instructions" such as, "I smoked mad weed and I got a new video game so don't break your balls getting here." We're pretty sure that's a shout out to our post, <a href="http://betabeat.com/2013/01/seamless-bizarre-wonderful-special-instructions-food-delivery-naked-nude-draw-drugs/">The Most Glorious Special Instructions Customers Have Requested on Seamless</a>. (Maybe not, but we'll take it!)</p>
<p>The only thing that could make this more acceptably Internetty is it was a GIF. Maybe better to save that for the Bedford L stop.<i><br />
