Emily Ratajkowski and other clickbait cuties

Clickbait promoters like to use photos of pretty ladies to get men to click on their articles. And there are few prettier ladies today than model and actress Emily Ratajkowski.
What follows is my latest roundup of clickbait cuties, including Ratajkowski, that companies like Revcontent and Taboola are using to get people to click on their sponsored articles.
Revcontent recently ran an article titled “12 weird vacation photos that will make you look twice.” It used two photos of the stunning Ms. Ratajkowski. The only thing weird about these photos is why I’m not pictured helping her apply sunscreen.


Another Revcontent article titled “20 vacation photos that will make you look twice” (I guess they found a few more) used a photo of a buxom brunette in a blue bikini. I wasn’t able to identify the women, but the photo was taken by Peter Falcon.



A Taboola-sponsored article titled “She had no idea why the crowd started to cheer” featured a photo of a busty young woman in a one-piece swimsuit. This photo has been kicking around the internet for years and has been Photoshopped to make her swimsuit look see-through. As best as I can tell, the original photo shows a blue swimsuit.



Another Taboola article titled “This photo has not been edited, look closer” featured a 1959 photo of flight attendant Birgitta Lindman of the Swedish SAS airline examining a showgirl’s costume after rumors of shorter skirts for air hostesses. (See Getty Images page.)



A sponsored article titled “33 prom photos that will make you look twice” featured a woman in a yellow dress posing for a fashion website.
