An ode to Mad Men's "Fat Betty"

As the current season of Mad Men was being filmed, January Jones (who plays Betty) was having a baby. Instead of ignoring the pregnancy or writing it into the plot, the writers put Ms. Jones into a fat suit and had Betty's weight gain become a rather dramatic plot element.

In the meantime some guys at SOUTH Music & Sound Design decided to commemorate the development with a song:



Yes, it is rather mean. But I choose to see it as a send-up on the show's dramatic excesses rather than a put-down of overweight people in the real world.

What do you think?

At least they didn't make fun of her placentophagy...

Woman seeks metal babydaddy on Craigslist #FdAdFriday

This is either pathetic or hilarious. Personally, I think it's fake. But it's Friday, so your mileage may vary.


FUSE reports that this post (since flagged for removal) recently appeared on Chicago Craigslist:

Did we hook up at the Megadeth/Motorhead concert? - w4m - 28 (Aragon Ballroom)
Me: Blue hair, silver tube top, fishnets, Knee high black biker boots.You: Red mohawk, black pentagram gauges, viper piercings.
I was grinding on you in the pit, then we went to the bathroom, and got f***ed up. You had a nice c**k and I was wasted so I let [you] raw dog it in the stall. You were really good and you had to gag me so I would make too much noise. 
Anyway I'm pregnant. It's yours. contact me if you want to be part of your child's life.

FUSE does not disclose whether the words "fucked" and "cock" were censored in the original post, or if they wussed out.

Anyway, c9kpp-2948959310@pers.craigslist.org, if you are in fact real I wish you and your metal baby all the best whether red mohawk boy re-enters the picture or not.

How not to get people to look at your hats #FdAdFriday

Fashionista asked Welsh milliner Robyn Coles why she premiered her new hat collection at London Fashion Week using nude models (including a pregnant woman).

The response was refreshing:

"It’s a basic, honest publicity scam! As a new designer I want to get people to see my work and now. I hope that people who look at the show like the light-hearted choice of nudity, appreciate the different forms of the human body and above all – like my work. It was about getting as many people there as possible."

Although her claim that nude pregnant models is something you never see on the catwalk is a little off. Has she never seen Prêt-à-Porter?

You can see all the models, male and female, at the Fashionista link.

(As a straight man, I feel honour bound to add a naked penis warning to my fellow uptight lads.)

F'd Ad Fridays: Thanks to these posters, my expectations are very low

I already don't like the "what to expect" series of maternal micromanagement books. These dumb posters for the upcoming movie that look and read like hackneyed internet memes aren't exactly helping me want to see the damn thing.
