Stick to roll eyes comments in between slapfights - dissing this girl is unbecoming. Lol, this reads to me like "quit picking on the autistic girl." Anyway, I've noticed in this thread some interesting, friendly dynamics. Appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I even said sorry in the post. Now fock off, seriously. Yes you were coming for Naomi in a kunty passive aggressive way. Drink the rest of that box of Chardonnay and quit arguing with me.

I think you're trying to tie several thoughts together and that exceeded the one line limit tolerated by the Neanderthals here. The comment was gratuitous.

naomi 343 Posted June 22, 2019 1 minute ago, Casual Observer said: My controversial take is that advertising today is more of a social engineering project that aims to shape social views and attitudes more than it is designed to sell more product. The recent Gillette ads come to mind as but one example. What would be the purpose of that..just promoting the personal stances of those leading companies? I don't think this is an off base thought at all, but I also think there is a cost-benefit to court this market, and it will not be offset by the indifference or mild annoyed reaction of the rest of their market.

The market already exists. This ad isn't going to change it, unless it turns off those that feel CK is only for the beautiful people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimmySmith 2,782 Posted June 23, 2019 I hate to disagree with bill. This will sell. Black audiences are easy to sell to. It is about defiance, celebrity, branding. Seems to check some boxes there. I just hope the chinese have enough fabric. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Observer 641 Posted June 23, 2019 Maybe Calvin Klein knows that, just like the Geek Club, there's a LOT more out of shape people than model-physique people and they buy underwear too. CK has been relevant for over 40 years because of great marketing. They also we're smart enough to use a black model so that the Trump base would lose their minds and cry about it on social media.

BiffTannen 651 Posted June 23, 2019 I have a few pairs of their jeans but not any underpants. This ad featuring Vince Wilfork isn’t making me run to the mall to buy any either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
