It's All About Trials & Titillations

As the glittery, jittery beautiful people descent on YTO for their annual TIFF, many of them have their heads (and butts) in the clouds – the iCloud that is.

What’s that, you may ask... as a core 50+ member of this venerable profession?

You know, it’s that impregnable place in the sky where celebs store their nudie pics, far away from prying eyes. Personally, my best work is on Super 8 film – that keeps the young hackers’ eyes off my prize.

And, of course, the 15 yr. old boys in the advertising department at Spirit Airlines had to join in the fun, because, well, because nudie pics are funny.

“Our Bare Fare Was Hacked!” screams the headline on NK’s latest missive. “We feel naked; you were never supposed to see this Bare Fare! It was meant for a special someone (who isn’t you). Now it’s all over the Internet for you to take advantage of as you see fit.”

After being trashed on Twitter for their naked schadenfreude (exactly what it wanted), Spirit made a Fordian apology, claiming the ad “was not meant to be offensive,” and citing its long history of “taking major national news stories and tying them to our marketing.”

It’s a strange and terrible world Pumpkins, when journalists are being beheaded and naked actresses are a major national news story. There really is nowhere to hide your ass.

Columnist

Part legend, part myth, all woman: Ivanna Gabbalot is OJ’s gossip columnist and considers herself the industry’s conscience. Equally annoying to Open Jaw management and inflated egos in C-suites everywhere, Ivanna works infrequently, preferring to snipe from the sidelines.
