Spitz'er Swallows?

Gotta hand it to the ad community, and New Yorkers, for their lightning-fast funny bone reflexes during this whole Spitzer-banging-whores debacle. You can't blame them--there are far too many ingredients making this ripe for a hit sitcom. Forget the GEICO cavemen.

Even Virgin Mobile in Canada jumped at the chance to exploit the Gov of Love's "Client #9" John codename (see below).

The copy goes on to read:


"When you call us, we'll treat you like a person, not a client.
Whether you're #9 pr #900, you'll get hooked up with someone who'll finally
treat you just ow you want to be treated..."

Oooooh. Good one. [Via adrants]

But New York Shitty spotted some homegrown humor at the Brooklyn bar, Teddy's. Would you rather throw back a Spitzer Spritzer or Hypocrite's Delight?



But in the end, the best humor comes from real life:

Poor guy-- SNL was pretty good to him this weekend, I think. Love the Virgin ad!

My favorite part about SNL was talking about the "unsafe" thing-- is that really ok when you're number NINE? Maybe one or even two but NINE? YIKES

I missed it! Maybe I can find the sketch online somewhere...

Oddly enough, I own that very same red trucker hat that "Kristen" aka Ashley Dupre was wearing in that Girls Gone Wild video. My company did a promotion with them a few years ago when the film was taken. I'm all set for this year's Halloween costume!
