Someone should have taken a good, hard look before signing off on these ads.

Scores of public buses are zipping across San Francisco this week with a giant pink, phallic-looking object plastered on their facades — but the city says complainers just have dirty minds.

While the long and skinny image is, in fact, a body part, the MTA swears it’s supposed to be a finger, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

The suspicious-looking digit swept social media Wednesday after a concerned San Franciscan snapped a picture of the advertisement, which showed the pink object peeking out from behind the iconic MTA’s worm logo.

The MTA appeared to be just as shocked and asked the poster if they knew the bus’s unique ID number so they could track it down.

“Nah sorry just the wiener pic,” the user replied.

The MTA told The California Post that it had nothing to do with the perverted picture — but that it was ripping the ad down immediately.

“We work with a third party advertising partner Intersection, who has full control over approval and implementation of booked advertising revenue space,” Erica Kato, a spokesperson for the agency, said in a statement.

“The SFMTA does have an advertising policy in place that mitigates community concerns like this, and to prevent political or otherwise sensitive content from being booked and displayed. Our policy also enables the SFMTA to immediately pull vehicles from service to have the ads in question removed entirely or modified, which we are doing in response to the confusion surrounding this ad.”

Staff at Muni told the Chronicle that the ill-advised picture was meant to be a finger.

“To quote C.S. Lewis. What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing,’” the agency’s head of communications, Parisa Safarzadeh, told the outlet.

The advertisement was for Framer, an AI product that specializes in web content and design.

What the AI company is thinking is not clear, and how the phallic image slipped through the review process at Intersection is a mystery.

Neither Framer nor Intersection responded to a request for comment.
