The Holidays! They are busy! Can you believe it! I hope everyone is having a merry season. I have put on some nice holiday weight since I decided to forgo exercise and replace it with over eating and binge drinking for the majority of the month. Basically I feel like a happy bloated whale! Sexy!
So while I’ve been absent and with holiday parties/a hang over/shopping/crashing White House dinner parties, the Gap had some crazy ads going on?
Did you all see this? It’s some Gap ad. Jezebel writer and blogger at large Lindsay Robertson wrote it up on Jezebel as being very slightly pedophilic, and got kinda attacked over it. (I don’t have TV so I learn about t through the internet). Anyways, I maybe kinda agree with her, only because of the weird train move at the end? Otherwise it’s a harmless ad, but considering the high pressure world of professional blogging, I don’t blame her for using that spin to post it in any ways. Here’s the original:
And I guess some gay guys saw this and thought it would be super fun to parody. I really WANT to like this, because the idea and execution are great, but I also get super uncomfortable watching a bunch of young gay guys infantalize themselves in the name of corporate fashions:
What do you think? Cute holiday commercial parody or kinda weird scary intersections of unhealthy psychology and consumerism?
I suddenly really really want boots for Christmas. Happy Holidays ya’ll!!!
