Latest Stuy Town Ads Show Horndogs Groping on the Grass

Posted on: July 10th, 2012 by

Keep the horndogs off the grass! Stuy Town’s latest attempt to lure 20-somethings into $3,500 a month, one bedroom apartments features some suggestive new advertising. The Dune Road Group posted advertisements they created for Stuy Town on their website, including an ad of a young couple grinding in the park.

On the Oval lawn, a dazed looking female stares vacantly off into space while her Cheshire Cat grinning boyfriend has his crotch pressed up against her backside, groping her pelvic region. “You belong here” is the slogan. If “here” is a park where men can appear to sedate women and take advantage of them, we’ll pass! We prefer the black squirrels.

Stuyvesant Town is not known for being savvy when it comes to advertising. Earlier this year advertisements telling renters to “Live it up” came under fire from City Councilman Dan Garodnick and the Stuyvesant Town Tenant’s Association, both of whom felt Stuy Town was specifically targeting college kids.

Recently they advertised a free month’s rent on Spotify which was almost immediately exposed as a tactic to churn apartments.

    Sedate? Really? Where do you get the idea he is sedating women from that picture? Where do you get the idea that anyone is taking advantage of anyone in that picture? It looks like a conservative young couple laying down on the grass, that are comfortable enough with each other to be that close. How do you jump from a passive picture of a happy couple lying down in the park to RAPE and SEDATION? Are you damaged as a result of sexual abuse? I feel bad for you and I feel bad for the victims of sex crimes, but that doesn’t make your distorted view of reality correct.

      Let’s say this photo is “art.” Everyone is entitled to their interpretation. Thank you for providing yours. Still looks like an ass-tapping dude in a park to me. And the slogan “you belong here” sounds like an invitation to do some ass-tapping.

    Also, FWIW, I am not defending stuy down. The last place I want to live is in an overpriced, claustrophobic apartment with paper walls. I am simply irritated at all of the false conclusions being drawn from this picture based on what seems to be one person’s very negatively biased viewpoint being passed off as journalism.
