David Barton not lacking in confidence

Barton_1 The proprietor of David Barton Gyms won’t be accused of modesty after putting himself, and very little else, in the center of his new ad campaign, by photographer Mathu Andersen and Sugartown Creative. Still doesn’t compare to this classic gym ad.

Given the membership of David Barton's gym, one would not expect attractiveness to the OPPOSITE sex to be a selling point.

I don't think he's attracting them, aren't they supposed to be those devil/angels on peoples shoulders? He's so hot even his good conscious/bad conscious gals are busy telling him he's hot. And short. They're sitting and he's standing and the girls legs still reach further down than his feet!

Wll they ARE kind of campy for women.. Barton IS about 5'2" on a good day, so I suppose you have a point.

Still, I've heard more than one gay man refer to DavidBartonGym as "the gayest place in the universe"

Oh, I get it. You have to look like THAT to join that gym.

"They're sitting and he's standing and the girls legs still reach further down than his feet!"

I received another treatment of this postcard in the mail the other day, and it's darkened a bit, which makes it look like he doesn't actually HAVE legs.

This is easily one of the worst (yet strangely awesome) cases of Photoshop abuse ever.
