Gossip Girl Gets "Gross" Underground

Photo by Todd Bilius.

Earlier this week Gossip Girl's new ad campaign was revealed, just begging to be reworked by the infamous subway ad artist (or anyone with scissors and a distaste for teen dramedies). It didn't take long, as a reader sent us the above photo, from the 23rd Street C and E station, taken this morning.

What we need for young people who are restless

that do superficial art like this is the start of the military draft,nothing like fear of spending 2

years working in the Army for your senses to

get sharper.

Years ago a guy made photos and cut outs of roaches

and pasted them in the MOMA and other institutions

that was reallykind of clever and pre digital art.

Well more fun than dying in Viet-Nam.

They're filming @ Capitale right now (for the 2nd day in a row).

Blech.

i certainly hope not!

God bless the defacers of public advertising.

Maybe if there were kiosks/lamposts where people were legally allowed to post things without getting a massive fine there would be less ad-defacement, graffiti, etc...

And hopefully there will be a TV series called Shirts for those of us who always were.

I doubt Gossip Girl's ad campaign was released "earlier this week," as AMNY covered it two weeks ago.

Now that you mention it. To see all the entries for a particular day in the archives page you have to change the font on the browser to be really small to see every entry posted on a particular day.

Haw Haw.

In other reflections - is it only my screen or does Gothamist need to work on the HTML so that the pictures aren't cropped about 1/3 on the right side when they are first posted (before they are miniaturized in the archives). Let's go.
