Recently the MTA launched an advertising campaign intended to combat bad subway etiquette. One poster in their visual arsenal targets the showtime dancers specifically—you can see that one in this photo below. It's behind the showtime dancers.

This photo was sent along by tipster SC, who explains, "That's a guy showtime-ing on the pole right in front of the 'the pole's not for showtime' ad. On the A train in Brooklyn last night. No acknowledgement of the sign by anyone—hard to say if the performers even saw it. Other passengers were pretty blasé too."
