Someone isn't happy with an ad campaign for the Oxygen network reinforcing stereotypical standards of beauty, currently on display in one of connecting tunnels at the 14th Street 8th Avenue L train station.
The advertisements for shows such as "Tori & Dean Storibook Weddings," "World According to Paris," "The Glee Project" and "All About Aubrey" are catching the attention of commuters, but not for the reason Oxygen probably had in mind. Someone has left stickers with sharp, mocking criticisms over the eyes of every women featured in the advertisements.
"I'M THE WHORE, YOU'RE THE JOHN"
"FOCUS ON HOW FABULOUS THE WEDDING IS (NOT HOW LONG IT LASTS)"
"STRIVE FOR THIS"
