Chicago's Red Line wants to spread the facts about squirrels. Earlier this year, ads warning against the furry monsters began appearing on trains. The public "service" is courtesy of Chicago comedian Ben Larrison who raised more than $4,000 through Kickstarter to purchase the satirical ads.

Larrison's four "facts" about our friends the squirrels are:

1. Squirrels live in trees. Bees live in trees. Are squirrels actually killer bees...in disguise?
2. No squirrel has ever been appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court...yet. Stay vigilant, humans."
3. Statistically speaking, at least one 'person' on this train is actually 7 squirrels wearing a human suit. Don't be a victim.
   And my personal favorite:
4. "Squirrels have never, ever wished you a Happy Birthday. Like, not even once. Probably because squirrels are inconsiderate, selfish monsters." 

But Larrison doesn't really have it in for our cute, furry little garden pals. He started the campaign to relieve the drudgery of commuter train travel. "I know how tough it can be to take the train every day," he says. "I just like making people smile."

Awww. He's just as sweet as a squirrel.
