Re: The Tenth Anniversary of your ad.
To whom it may concern,
You (pl) have been running the “She Married Him?” banner ad featuring this misbegotten couple…
…roughly since 1994.
Yes. They got married. They had seven kids. they were a happy couple, oddly enough, given the the odd nature of their “Bowser Meets Mr. Dreamy” relationship.
Then came your stupid ad in all of its permutations, and things were doomed from then on. The stress of being “that geeky pasty-faced redhead” and “the jockboy who married the weird chick” probably got to them. Their kids will be in therapy forever.
Are you satisfied, you bastards?
That is all.
POSTCRIPT: Or, maybe, that is not all.
Naturally, I had to google the story after I wrote this – and found out that in fact, there’s a story behind the picture.
Oh, well.

“”So, yes, “Bryce is more than a decade younger than I am,” Smith said.
She jokingly calls it “the ‘he’s in second grade and she’s the pedophile babysitter??!!’ ad.”””

Hey, that son of a bitch owes me money!

When you hire yourself out as a (purported) male prostitute to an overweight 40-something gal, AC, you should consider the Pay Up-Front option.

Badda, you need to sign up for that remedial comedy class at the community college. Angryclown said “son of a bitch” not “bitch.” As in “dude.” You should totally have gone in a gay direction with that. Also, lose the parenthetical – it interrupts the flow and undercuts the joke. And flip the sentence to put the punchline at the end.
Geez, I gave you guys McCain. Can’t you do anything for yourselves?

AC tries to pretend that the “bitch” was not a dude dressed as a “bitch”… good luck with that.

Sad. Some advice for you, Badda:
1. Get a day job.
2. Keep your day job.

AC-
Not everyone who looks like a clown ‘owes you money’.

AC,
What was that song Aerosmith wrote for you back in the mid-/late-80s?
