Port Authority of Allegheny County said Wednesday it will remove promotional slogans on nine buses that appear to spell a racial slur when read backward or viewed in a mirror.

Transit agency spokesman Jim Ritchie said a driver complained Tuesday after seeing the message “Ziggin Zaggin” on a bus in her vehicle's rear-view mirror.

What should be satire is now reality. Unbelievable.

I wish they’d simply remove the Port Authority all together.

In fact, it’s clear to me now that PAT is nothing but a bunch of filthy racists. It needs to be disbanded and all assets must be thrown into the Mon River. Racist organizations like this should not be allowed to exist. They may very well bake a cake someday that says “Ziggin’ Zaggin’” which could cripple life on Earth as we know it and cause all of us to breathe hatred out of hate for hate and hating hate like hate and hate hater, hating ... hate.

The Port Authority is Pittsburgh’s lung cancer. The politicians are the brain cancer and the idiot residents who even noticed something this stupid that keep voting in trash to run that scummy town are heart disease.

More 'banned' words, eh?

They tried a while back to ban the word 'Dixie' also.....as it is a bad word.

Let him/her/it pay for the removal.

In cash. He/she/it probably doesn’t pay taxes.

Don't forget heteronormative propaganda:

[fhayek]

‘niggiz’ is a word now? And spelling this special word bacwords is what, some kind of magical racist incantation? Geez, excuse me while I go play my Led Zeppelin records backwards.

[MaxMax]

LOL, imagine liberal heads exploding seeing Ziggin Zaggin in their rear view mirror.

These hyper sensitive people need a reality check, and maybe listen to some Rap.
