Hotel Chatter thinks that Brooklyn's Hotel Jolie is a less promising place to stay now that they've sold out the side of their building to a Grand Theft Auto IV ad (other minuses: the hotel is next to an abandoned gas station and the website includes a Manhattan beauty shot that still has the World Trade Center). But back to the ad. . . . is it really that much of a turn-off? Maybe it's just the type of ad rather than the ad itself. For comparative purposes, a lingerie-filled example from an LA hotel after the jump. Better, worse, or the same?
Last month Sarah Silverman and People magazine's sexiest man alive (this year) Matt Damon made a video for Jimmy Kimmel called "Fucking Matt Damon." Shot at the Delano Hotel in Miami, it features Silverman and Damon crooning about fucking one another "on the bed, on the floor, on a towel by the door, in the tub, in the car, up against the mini bar," exposing her infidelity to faux-boyfriend Kimmel. Now comes Kimmel's "plotted revenge," with more celebrity cameos than you can shake a stick at (Cameron Diaz and Robin Williams included). Ben Affleck plays Kimmel's lover, while Brad Pitt is a FedEx delivery boy. And, following suit with a hotel setting, the video features ample footage of the Hollywood Roosevelt's pool and rooms.
