It’s sad when even google is telling you that you’re fat.

Gmail, for those of you who don’t already know, puts up content specific ads along the right hand side of all e-mails. It’s a subtle form of advertising, but occasionally I glance over the links.

I sent Jill an e-mail discussing how I needed to buy a few new swim suits for this summer’s beach season. These were the ads Google displayed:

Thanks Google. Thanks.

    A “few new swim suits”? Any chance we could see an MSPaint representation of the ideal swim suit style in your mind? I’m thinking something flashy with bright yellow and blue stripes is just what the savvy and stylish beachgoer would be wearing this season.

    Maybe gmail is finally realizing what i’ve been saying for years. Cause lets face it. You are fat.

    I saw those ads too and just assumed Gmail was dissing me. But I’d much rather like to think that they were taking a jab at your physique. So thanks.

    actually your arms do look a little fatty in that MSpaint, especially compared to the chicken legs.

    You may not have hugly disproportional limbs in real life. just saying if google is judging on that MSpaint, then they might be onto something
