Hate Crime Your Way To A Better Body

A tipster (thanks, Leighton) sent us this screencap of an ad she found on Facebook this morning. The copy reads:

Summer's almost here and that means, [sic] it's time to get ripped abs! Try our new proven ab-toning product now!

Fair enough. Summer is almost here, and it is time to get ripped abs. Except, um, IS THAT A PICTURE OF ED NORTON IN AMERICAN HISTORY X?! Incredible. I guess he was kind of ripped in that movie, once he took off his Hitler costume. More like, American History Abs, right, you guys? Woof. Maybe I should have thought a little longer before making that joke. And maybe the makers of this "product" should have thought a little longer about making this ad. Just put their mouth on the curb nice and long while they thought about health and fitness and beaches and hatred.

There was an advertisement for one of the Gotti boys' birthdays at a club in my facebook sidebar last week

I hate the one that has a picture of a polar bear and asks whether it's a polar bear or a dog. And then says 96% of people got it wrong. Is it because the people who actually click on the ad are stupid to begin with? Probably.

Anyone who uses facebook stinks. It's a proven fact.

My brother's facebook status from last night: Roger thinks its hilariously offensive that the icon Facebook used for their "Get Summer Abs" advertisement, was Edward Norton from "American History X." Because if there is one thing skinheads know about, it is tight summer abs.

^Agree.
