    That Wrangler jeans ad is shiveringly sick and wierd.

    And those baby shoes with a heel...they look abit like the old Chinese shoes for women who had bound feet. Oh ugh.

    Those Wrangler ads are DISGUSTING. I don't think I've ever seen an ad that made me feel queasy before. What were they thinking? What did they want their buyers to think?? "Oh, no, how awful! but ooh, she sure has nice jeans on..."

    That jeans ad is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in an ad. Did that campaign actually run anywhere?

    I thought about this thread as I went from Home Depot to Lowes. Guess why.
