Gentlemen, this is a headline

Haven't seen an ad here since "King of the Hill" graced our presence last December. And now....an ad returns to the northwest corner of Sixth Street and Avenue A. And it's a douchey doozy.




Please expect "Gentlemen, this is..." jokes the entire summer. I've already incorporated the saying in random conversations, like the other day at Mamoun's: "Gentlemen, this is Baba Ghannouj."

    Dunno, BaHa... Maybe they're going for a James Bond feel, though it comes across more like Ed Burns in The Brothers McMullen.

    Hmm, come to think of it... I don't think we can say brands. The ad doesn't mention Ketel One. Need to keep it generic!

    So...

    Gentlemen, this is a cooling medicated pad for the treatment of hemorrhoids.
