Metafilter's bizarre text ad celebrates 'suicide girls'

Posted July 25, 2002 8:55 PM.

I've just experienced the first text ad that I've actually wanted to click on. More than that, even - I've just experienced the first text ad that against all the odds I did click on. What did it say? "Suicide girls - punk/goth girls. read their blogs, see them naked." That's got to be the best advert ever. Even if you're a poof. And much respect must go to metafilter - even when it takes ads for porno, it's got to be stunningly well-designed.
