Promoted Tweets

Is this foot dirty talk?

Lastly, the Promoted Tweets bot reminds us that weird ads don’t only live on Tumblr. This account documents the strange promoted content on the blue bird app. It’s not clear how many of the promoted tweets, which will no doubt make you chuckle or perhaps scratch your head, are actually real. Yet, when the goal is a good laugh, does it matter?

A tweet about promoted feet is probably the weirdest one I’ve seen on this account.

“Plant both soles into the exciting world of beautiful feet. Do you like their grace and curves? Spread your toes and relax,” the tweet, which was apparently published by a real account, reads. That account also features a video of a person playing with their toe hair.

Is it directed at folks with foot fetishes? Is that foot dirty talk? There are some mysteries that will remain unsolved.
