I Slept With Adam Giambrone
I slept with Adam Giambrone.
Well, I didn't really sleep with Adam Giambrone. But what if I did? That's the question on a lot of people's minds these days, after seeing buttons with this message worn on lapels of people around Toronto.
Since it was revealed that Giambrone had relationships with multiple partners, wearing this button might level the playing field, as it were. The buttons are the brainchild of Sonya Popovich, a production coordinator for a graphic design studio in Toronto.
"I had an outside designer do it, whom I paid for the design," says Popovich. "She gave me five options and I chose one. I had 500 made. They cost me $230 to produce. But I'm giving them away for free."
I first spotted a couple of young ladies wearing the I slept with Adam Giambrone buttons at The Erotic Arts and Crafts Fair. One of them, Natasha, was given a couple of buttons from Popovich, who was dining at Fusaro's where she works as a server.
So what's the idea behind the buttons?
"If we've all slept with Adam Giambrone we all have his morals," says Popovich. "Are we all able to function with all our jobs if we all sleep around? Cause we all do it."
What prompted Popovich to make I slept with Adam Giambrone buttons in the first place?
"I come from an active political family," says Popovich. "I come from Sudbury, so I pretty much have a union mentality. I have no TV at home, but I read The Globe & Mail, which I refer to as 'the only male worth sleeping with these days.'
"What bothered me most about this whole thing is Giambrone mentioning his partner as a political prop. As a 51-year-old woman who wears glasses, I object to the fact that the plain Jane girl can't be the lusty busty one."
What sort of reaction has she gotten from wearing the button?
"One TTC driver told me, 'You better not be selling them on the TTC,'" says Popovich. "But then just yesterday, a female TTC streetcar driver asked me for two buttons. Some associate my buttons with sex, others associate it with the TTC."
I got a button from Popovich and pinned it to my lapel. The first comment I found was quite amusing: "That's why they call him The Red Rocket!"

That "design" took a "designer"? That is amazing. It's also amazing how poorly the heart is positioned on the "design". But what's most amazing of all is that you're actually calling this a "design".

This incomprehensible jumble is what the buttons projects? Uh, no. This button comes across like a joke, not some deep societal statement. But thanks for the hilarious overkill.

Well, Detective Notaclue, we only know that Giambrone slutted around. We have no information about the sexual habits of the women he was involved with. Maybe you could spend less time on hiring awesome designers to set pointlessly retro type and more time stalking these women and then bring your findings to BlogTO or sell your footage to TMZ. We're all really excited to see what you uncover.
Wheres the "I Got STD from Adam Giambrone" buttons. They'd sell like hotcakes.
Ewwww
But since he's not running, it actually comes off as a cheap joke and a laugh at some old news, like having a button that says "Monica Lewinsky is my intern too"
@The Situation, that would have made a far funnier button!!

Don't try to pull off a movement with this/read to into what the button means, but all that aside, I want in on the fun!
Good stuff : )
Two thumbs up from me who voted for AG the three times he has run for city council.
"I spelt with Adam Giambrone
and all I got was this lousy STD."
;)
"You're a total shithead. This makes me cringe just like how I cringe when I see these other pathetic excuses for human beings looking for fame through other people's misery.

Wow, talk about someone not living up to his same? Sunny? Shit, change it to Dark and Foreboding Fong.
Wake up and laugh a little, fer Chrissake!
"Sunny," indeed!
So does that mean you're just a horndog all the time?
I say instead of buttons glorifying these actions make the bonehead start over with a entry level job and work his way back
What are you Miro, 10 years old?
Old Lady? Christ?
Now go out onto the highway and play....
But GOD FORBID, someone targets him as satire!
Go pplay on your iPhones, or whatever the hell they're called.
It's light and largely inconsequential.. the real-life equivalent of a LOLcat.
"time for your afternoon nap, gramps. put away the sherry and stop bothering those young girls and boys."
Time for you to dream about that six-figure job you'll never get, the house you'll never be able to afford, the kids you'll never be able to have due to genetically and environmentally-modified and defective semen, and the pension program that won't exist.
Nighty-nite :)
P.S. Next time, try writing in proper sentence structure. That "shift" key serves a purpose on your keyboard. Try it!
Uh, what world is this woman living in, where sleeping around is the norm? (I guess she's at least warned any potential future partners to look elsewhere...)
why is this pin news? it should be news that 250 some odd pins will be in the garbage in a year.
