A public media consultant I read (but won’t name here) also pointed out the underwear ad in a snide and complaining and dismissive way.

I can’t believe this is something over which people will willingly get their panties in a bunch. Har har.

Are we now going to be curmudgeons about underwear ads, too?

Good God. It’s like an ABC presidential debate around here… flag pins all around!

Alex,
At some point we just need to speak English.

referring to someone who writes about/in response to your blog as “a reader” is a little undemocratic in the blog age, nay?

Jeff,

The underwear shows up as female on my screen; perhaps they could offer a button to change it to male (and back, I suppose)?

I commented on this ad on your blog but didn’t see a response. A crotch in colored underwear is a little distracting from your blog content. It’s all about where the eye goes when your page loads and it isn’t to the text! But I guess in American Apparel’s case, sex sells.
