Gawker Ad Campaign Urges Skinny, Late Train-Causing Girls to Eat

The Silly Girl points to Gawker’s cure for the raft of New York city skinny girls who, for years, have been causing trains to be late because they pass out from lack of feeding themselves: a new ad campaign. Speaking as bluntly as more ad campaigns ought to, Gawker’s ad is headlined, “If You See Something, Eat Something” with body copy that reads, “Look bitch, we don’t care how skinny you need to be by the time your Hamptons share starts, we just want to get to work. Sweet Christ, why don’t you just drug yourself thin like the rest of us? For fuck’s sake.” Now that’s an ad that didn’t get needlessly ruined by lengthy approval processes.
