Wonkette Sponsors Will ‘Go To Bat’ For You

by Ken Layne  3:06 pm July 18, 2008

Let’s give a big round of applause to our lovely sponsors, who would definitely come up to the bleachers and give a friendly “sucks to be you” after throwing a baseball bat into our face. Thanks to these fine institutions for advertising on Wonkette:

  • ACLU
  • American Apparel
  • Health Care For America Now
  • Al Gore/We Can Solve It
  • Grassroots Campaigns
  • Environmental Defense Fund
  • HBO “Generation Kill”
  • Circuit City

Want to reach out and hit Wonkette’s wealthy, elitist readers? Just ask our advertising experts for the details.

Sincerely,

Self-loathing Hippie

SLIM SLACK! SLIM SLACK! SLIM SLACK! SLIM SLACK! SLIM SLACK! SLIM SLACK! SLIM SLACK! SLIM SLACK! SLIM SLACK! SLIM SLACK!

I went to American Apparel during my (too short) lunch break. The inescapable Slim Slack girl reminded me–but all I bought was a t-shirt.

Your advertising dollars at work.

NotUrEvryDayWEzl July 18, 2008 at 3:30 pm

Elitist? Yes. I wear my iPod & sunglasses and blatantly disregard all other human beings in my vicinity while in public.

Wealthy? I’m still using a 2nd generation iPod that is 4 years old with cracks in its casing that a rainstorm can’t wait to exploit, and my sunglasses cost me $15 at a PacSun outlet.

[re=39558]tunamelt[/re]: I’m thinking of maybe taking a screenshot of slim slack girl and making one of those T-shirt sticky thingies and creating my own unique T-shirt (i’m adding truck nutz)

Why does the ACLU advertise anyway?

I bought a TV at Circuit City. You can imagine how appreciative the slackerdude clerk was when I thanked him for his support of our dirty habit.

teebob2000 July 18, 2008 at 3:39 pm

[re=39558]tunamelt[/re]: How about a bathing suit? Need a new bathing suit?

[re=39563]RuperttheBear[/re]: No, but I think we’ve found a new replacement for Slim Slack girl.

tunamelt July 18, 2008 at 3:41 pm

[re=39560]NotUrEvryDayWEzl[/re]: Do you wear your sunglasses at night?

NotUrEvryDayWEzl July 18, 2008 at 3:42 pm

[re=39570]teebob2000[/re]: You are an evil, despicable human being.

teebob2000 July 18, 2008 at 3:42 pm

[re=39565]JeffGoldblum[/re]: How else would you know how to find them? In the Yellow Pages under “Righteous Indignation”?

Or would that be listed under “Indignation – Righteous”?

Spence July 18, 2008 at 3:43 pm

Ok, I have a Wonkette confession to make.
I’m the one responsible for the Slim Slack girl.
Yours in fashion,
Spence

[re=39579]Spence[/re]: Wait, how?

NotUrEvryDayWEzl July 18, 2008 at 3:49 pm

[re=39575]tunamelt[/re]: No… at night I trade my elitist and off-putting sunglasses for a cigarette (usually unlit… I DO need to conserve them, after all) with a pouty scowl.

Spence July 18, 2008 at 3:51 pm

[re=39581]tunamelt[/re]: No comment, from a mysterious pink factory building in downtown L.A…..

RuperttheBear July 18, 2008 at 3:52 pm

[re=39581]tunamelt[/re]: Did you put those eyebrows on her?

anabellum July 18, 2008 at 3:56 pm

circuit city?…the ad must be subliminal, i cant recall ever seeing one…or maybe im just too busy considering what id look like in purple pants EVERY MINUTE OF MY F*ING LIFE to think of anything else……..

nbawriter July 18, 2008 at 3:58 pm

Honestly, tell her to cut that ridiculous split-end mop on her head.

tunamelt July 18, 2008 at 4:00 pm

[re=39590]Spence[/re]: Wow. You may in fact be seven or so blocks away from me at this very moment in time.

Spence July 18, 2008 at 4:09 pm

[re=39603]tunamelt[/re]: Wait, Wonkette commenters exist in real, physical space? Woah, I thought y’all were just bots!
We’ll have to get together at Groundworks for a nice iced coffee sometime…

tunamelt July 18, 2008 at 4:13 pm

[re=39608]Spence[/re]: Have you been to Lot 44? It’s basically around the block from Groundworks and is amazing. They brew your coffee by the cup.

Spence July 18, 2008 at 4:53 pm

I usually go to the Arts District groundworks, it’s between Union Station and the mysterious pink factory. But I’ll check it out, I’m a total coffee snob!
To which I say, L.A. Coffee Mill, overrated. Intelligentsia, not overrated, just overrun.

S.Luggo July 18, 2008 at 5:21 pm

[re=39647]Spence[/re]: Get a room.

tunamelt July 18, 2008 at 6:11 pm

[re=39647]Spence[/re]: Oh, yeah, see I work like right next to the other Groundworks.

Spence July 18, 2008 at 7:29 pm

[re=39710]tunamelt[/re]: Either you work at the MTA, or you’re the fuzz, man!

Borat July 19, 2008 at 6:23 pm

dear american apparel: thank you so much for spicing up wonkette. keep up the great work

Mr-Clark July 21, 2008 at 1:21 am

Ken Layne,

Your sponsor, ACLU, must have really paid up the ass for the ad and the free column. Shrewd move for them! I respect all of your sponsors. I need the relief that your site provides from the seriousness of The Political Machine as sort of a balance.

I may not be on here everyday, but I do have somewhere to go to kind of refresh my thinking and vent without being judged so much.

Sincerely and respectfully,

Mr-Clark
