Dalek-based security on the Toronto subway

Jordan sez, "Toronto's subway system is pretty hardcore. The indicator on this TTC turnstile could not be clearer: 'If you try to dodge the fare, you will be indecently assaulted by a Dalek.' Either purchase tokens from the wall-mounted vending machines or travel by TARDIS." Link (Thanks, Jordan!)

Lots of signs for public showers are much more dalekoid than that one. Example:

It must all be part of Charlie Stross' new counter terror plan:

This would be even better if there were a police-box within eyeshot, especially given that underground metro systems are one of the few places where they still do exist in a functional capacity...

REMUNERATE! REMUNERATE! REMUNERATE! The appropriate subway fare for entry, that is.

I could never sit through an episode of Dr. Who, but thanks to boing boing I now know a Dalek from a Tardis. Thank you Whovians. I'm enriched by your experience.

My good buddy Charlie Stross, who shares pints with me and my pal Cory (well, at least in my internal projected mindspace) has a post on his blog about using Daleks and escalator control for anti-terrorist hijinks on the tube.....

If that's the toilet plunger end, then the doors to a whole new world of innuendo have just swung wide and from the abyss has emerged a new fetish.

GASP, ROSE IS COMING BACK???

and I think that warning system's a failure, which half decent doctor who out there wouldn't have loved to be anally penetrated by a Dalek?

Then again, the system might be a success, if they are measuring success by the amount of dissapointed fans who were not penatrated after violating the pay toll/no tardis rule.

All the Whos down in Whoville,
The tall and the small,
Were running from Daleks
That were shooting them in the @r$e?

Benny (14), could you please hyphenate your compound adjectives and capitalize your proper names? I had to read your comment three or four times before I could tell whether it was randomly generated.
