Aha! I knew it...
Some species of felines are monogamous, while some aren't. It turns out Tiger Woods isn't a Tiger after all. He's a Cheetah!
Bravo!
Only took you 18 minutes

TTC has a right to accept the advertising but not an obligation to do so. Given its status as a public-owned system with political oversight, clearly the Commission was uncomfortable with the implied endorsement of its service.As far as I know, AM is a legal business providing a service to some people and has the legal right to advertise its services. I, personally, may or may not be offended by the ads but I am not sure that my personal opinion should affect the TTC's right to accept the advertising dollars.

More to the point, given TTC's policy on dealing with advertising complaints, there was no chance that AM's advertising - had it actually gone on vehicles - would not have received enough complaints to result in swift removal.
In the end, AM knew full well that they would be rejected but - as they were very clear about - the political fuss provided them with free advertising that went well beyond having their logo on a handful of streetcars. Quite brilliantly done on their part.
