Waxman Staff Writer May 27, 2014 3:59 PM UTC Kanye West and Kim Kardashian may have already had their Italian wedding in Florence over the weekend, but the jokes don’t seem to be ending any time soon. New York Sports Clubs has run a newspaper ad advising the rapper to “stay in shape” so that his marriage can “last longer than a Hollywood marriage.” [Mashable](http://mashable.com/2014/05/27/new-york-sports-club-ad-kimye/?utm%5Fcid=mash-com-fb-main-link) points out that the gym also published an ad last year joking that if Kim Jong Un had a “better body”, then he wouldn’t need such a “big missile”. Well done, New York Sports Club.
