Seattle has a new trolley, which is great. Any way we can get commuters and residents to leave their cars at home and take public transit is admirable, especially when the public transit is this cute. The new trolley will connect with light rail, regional buses, and the monorail, with a projected ridership of 330,000 in the first year. This is all well and good, but the name of this new trolley is South Lake Union Transit. The acronym? That's right: S.L.U.T. Read the whole story on TreeHugger.

That's awesome, I can hear people saying now, "I'm taking the Slut today" 
6*cracking up laughing!*
7I just can't help but laugh...
8So funny, I could just imaging someone saying "I'm riding the S.L.U.T. today"
9*imagine
10I can't believe no one caught that.
11There are a bunch of satirical websites/tshirts - www.ridetheslut.com
BUT. Unfortunately, after all the negative press, they changed it to SLUR - the last initial now being Rail. Slur isn't as immediately funny, but I can still think ways to make fun of it.
12Wow, SLUR isn't any better!! Great planning!!
13I cant believe things like this still happen. Does no one realize before it gets out? Could have made for some great conversations . . . "Have you ridden the S.L.U.T. yet? It's great you should really try it."
14hahah

Brilliant!
16I wish I could ride a SLUT to work! All we get in Boston is the boring old T.
17"Riding the SLUT"
18that's funny. i can't wait for the college kids in the area to say 'let's go ride the slut'. that's going to go over very nicely!
19I was in Seattle in September, and I'd read that a bar was selling "Ride the SLUT" T-shirts, so I was hoping to get one while I was there. Sadly, they were all sold out!
20Whether it's SLUT or SLUR, either one is hilarious. Come ON, people...
21one of my former coworkers just moved to seattle....i ran this story a few months ago, and told her she had to keep and eye out for the shirts!!
