Can you imagine a pair of jeans that WOULDN’T make these chicks look slim? Seriously, that would be a real feat of engineering. What are they, size 2? Build a pair of pants that makes them look like fatasses and I’ll applaud your mad skilz. But this, on the other hand, is just fucking insulting.

November 22, 2007 at 5:23 amoh jesus. What a terrible ad. I love how the size 2 in the middle looks like her pants are just 3 sizes to big.
Bon says
November 22, 2007 at 7:50 amoh, yeh, if those three eat another blueberry they’ll bust right out of their size 2s. horrors.
show me normal, muffin top people in their pants, lookin’ good, and i may show interest in the pants yer hawkin’, Lee. otherwise, please stop trying to make me feel bad about myself.
Jen says
November 22, 2007 at 8:29 amHey now, let’s be fair. Those women could be a size 16 and their jeans are just making them look like they are a size 0. And if that was the case I would be running out and buying 14 pairs of those jeans tomorrow.

November 22, 2007 at 10:59 amOh good god. That’s just annoying!!!
Rhonda says
November 22, 2007 at 11:35 amOh…freaking…hell. That’s beyond insulting.
jen says
November 22, 2007 at 1:40 pmOh, they’re so average sized aren’t they? Where’s the real women?
cagey says
November 22, 2007 at 5:18 pmThis reminds me of Dove’s “real beauty” campaign. While Dove is in the USA promoting “real beauty”, they are in India hawking products to lighten skin, so the gals there can be “whiter”.
Bah.
Melinda says
November 22, 2007 at 5:46 pmSo true! Where do they get off using models like this and then stating that the darned jeans are making them look slim? No, I call it anorexia!

November 25, 2007 at 12:32 amHow funny! I see it all the time! Skinny women in an ad for us not so skinny women! Don’t they realize that pisses us off?
Mom on Coffee says
November 25, 2007 at 8:16 amBitches. I challenge them to put a pair on me and watch the Muffin Top Show.
Sarcastic Mom says
November 25, 2007 at 11:25 amOh, come on now. I’m sure that if they took the jeans off their triple chins would just bust on out.
No?
Sonya says
November 25, 2007 at 4:12 pmLOL! Hilarious! Why is it you never see “real” people in these ads? How about ladies that have had a few children and have a couple of bellies….you know, women like me! LOL!

November 26, 2007 at 10:34 amSize 00 is the New 2.
Kathy says
November 26, 2007 at 2:51 pmUgh. I saw a whole rack of these (not Lee’s, another brand) “slimming” jeans and they look exactly like the horrible high-waisted jeans I wore in jr. high. Not the new skinny jeans that actually can look flattering if they’re straight-legged and not super tight, but the tapered legged ones that zippered on the sides and had butterflies and unicorns stenciled on the pockets.
Lotta says
November 26, 2007 at 7:18 pmGood Lord. But I can’t even look at a Lee ad without thinking about the mom jean skit from SNL. If you haven’t seen it just type that into youtube’s search. Hilarious.
Cynthia Blue says
November 27, 2007 at 8:11 amI saw that ad myself and thought the same thing. Gads… no normal women in ads for sure.
All Adither says
November 27, 2007 at 4:41 pmLike these women would wear LEE jeans in the first place.
Amy says
November 27, 2007 at 6:55 pmAnother reason why I LOVE the Fruit of the Loom and Dove commercials. I love companies that show real women to sell their product and i’m much more likely to buy their product.
Big Momma Pimpalishisness says
November 27, 2007 at 7:13 pmOh how I agree. Oh how I agree. :/
Big Momma Pimpalishisness says
November 27, 2007 at 7:14 pmAnd really, who does Lee think they’re tricking?
dana says
November 28, 2007 at 8:10 amThank God someone else feels as angry as I do about these fucking magazine advertisements. I’m so sick of looking at these thin women and seeing the jeans maker claim the pants made them slim. Yeah right. The truth is, they don’t feel the compulsion to eat everything in sight like I do. This may be why my ass and hips never look slim!
AbsolutelyBananas says
November 28, 2007 at 9:20 amHilarious! “Build a pair of pants that makes them look like fatasses and I’ll applaud your mad skilz.” – isn’t that the truth?!!
Moobs says
November 28, 2007 at 9:26 amTHe scarier thought is there are people looking at that ad and concluding that hey must be overweight if those modelas are in need of remedial pants.
Alex Elliot says
November 28, 2007 at 3:49 pmGeez!
Suzanne says
November 28, 2007 at 9:05 pmThat ad reminds me of the women who model those gut-sucking devices in my Macy’s circular. Of course the contraption works on someone without a stomach. The rest of us look like a sausage bursting out of its casing.
