Viral social distribution is always a great way to get your message out. And it's helping to create a safer subway, in New York at least.

I was thinking of filming all the potholes we have on our roads here in KL, and wonder if those in charge of roadworks would patch them up or at least do a good job when patching up. Heck, if this sort of viral message can work, why not one locally?

A “subway blooper reel,” featuring people tripping over one slightly taller step in a staircase, received a lot of attention on the web Wednesday after the creator shared it on Reddit.

New York City blog Gothamist reported Thursday that the station was taped off late last night, and quickly fixed afterward. “Crews were dispatched yesterday to make any necessary repairs,” MTA spokesperson Kevin Ortiz told Gothamist.

What do you think? Will viral messages like this, after this, get more eyeballs - the right ones?
