    Wonderful positive messages in those ads.

    These are cool.

    I love my new "cycling knees"! They are pointy now. I always used to have this "pillow" of soft tissue on the inside. It is smaller now and a muscle is growing underneath...

    just you wait.

    I finally pulled out my jeans hanging in the back of the closet because of the colder weather. I was surprised of how tight they are in the thigh area this year. Thanks for sharing the ads, made me feel better about my thighs.

    Looks like Nike learned from the success of the Dove "Real Beauty" ad campaign.

    Actually, I saw the thunder thighs ad about 2 years ago (I think). Thought it was great then, and thought it may have influenced the Dove real beauty campaign. Doesn't matter which was first, these are messages all girls and women need to hear!

    Excellent ads. Hopefully, this will be the start of a trend. I'll always loved those ads of Serena and Venus Williams---strong, lovely ladies!!

    Oh those are so sweet! I scored 3 out of 5! (ex swimmer, salsa, cycling)

    I like the booty one the best, with the "kiss it" ending.

    I never understood why they're called "thunder thighs" though....

    Cool ads. My knees always looked like that as a kid. Actually they still like to play rough.

    My marketing class assignment for the weekend was to find an ad or series of ads that were interesting or attention-getting. These are also in line with what my model store for the class is (a shop for large size mens and womens athletic gear) so I'm going to print these out and use them for class!
