An ad agency called Serve, via the Family Violence Partnership in Milwaukee, recently launched some freaking weird ads featuring the faces of little girls combined with the giant knockers of older women.

“Just because she has the body” says one ad, “doesn’t mean she has the brain.”

American Apparel makes me f*cking nauseous.

Actually, let me restate that. American Apparel’s ads make me f*cking nauseous.

Their clothes are fine—if you enjoy looking like every other “non conformist” out there—but their ads are so annoying I feel the need to scream at everyone involved in making them.
