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.
oh jesus. What a terrible ad. I love how the size 2 in the middle looks like her pants are just 3 sizes to big.
oh, 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.
Hey 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.
Oh good god. That’s just annoying!!!
Oh…freaking…hell. That’s beyond insulting.
Oh, they’re so average sized aren’t they? Where’s the real women?
This 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.
So 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!
Grrrrrr.
Boycotting.Lee.jeans.
How 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?
Bitches. I challenge them to put a pair on me and watch the Muffin Top Show.
Oh, come on now. I’m sure that if they took the jeans off their triple chins would just bust on out.
No?
LOL! 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!
Size 00 is the New 2.
Ugh. 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.
Good 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.
I saw that ad myself and thought the same thing. Gads… no normal women in ads for sure.
Like these women would wear LEE jeans in the first place.
Another 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.
Oh how I agree. Oh how I agree. :/
And really, who does Lee think they’re tricking?
Thank 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!
Hilarious! “Build a pair of pants that makes them look like fatasses and I’ll applaud your mad skilz.” – isn’t that the truth?!!
THe 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.
Geez!
That 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.
