Description

This week we're looking at the revamped "See Something Say Something" campaign out of New York. Originating in 2001 right after 9/11, the MTA and the Department of Homeland Security started this ad campaign to encourage people to report suspicious activity on public transport systems. Specifically, we look at a commercial from the unlikely poster-face of this campaign: Gregg T. from Long Island.

Featuring our first ever guest, Vienna Poiesz!
