Levis Commercial

[mykpart]

A man and woman are going up stairs in an apartment building. He says he lied about his job; she says she lied about ?something else? He says he is living in his car, she says, this isn't really my apartment, they go inside and both unzip their Levis and start groping each other. Why is this less offensive than Janet Jackson's bare breast? Am I such an old fuddy-duddy that I'm the only one who thinks this ad is dangerous on so many levels?

1. It is a absurd commercial.

Their point is what?

[ThomCat]

2. The point of the ad is apparently that if you look hot in jeans

nothing else is really important. You can lie about anything, you can be a nobody, and you're still good enough to hook up with just because you look good in jeans.

4. You can be living in you car and have no job and still get a

date.
:rofl:

[DarkTirade]

6. ... so... you got any pics of you in jeans?

[ThomCat]

7. I'm in a mood to play cards.

Wanna come over and play poker and help me take 'em off? :P

[DarkTirade]

8. I gotta warn you, I play a mean game of Texas Hold 'em.

You'll probably end up losing your shirt if you play against me.

[ThomCat]

10. And the problem with that would be?

:7

[DarkTirade]

15. I SUPPOSE I could find some way for you to buy it back from me...

hmm... some method of payment... :evilgrin:

[FloridaJudy]

3. "Lying losers wear our jeans"

Like that's gonna make me run out and buy them.

[DarkTirade]

5. ... actually that's a pretty big segment of the market right there.

:P

9. Dangerous? Not really.

Incredibly stupid and ill-conceived, definitely. While it's not as bad as the McDonald's infamous "I'd Hit That" campaign, it is up there for being crass, off-message and a lame attempt at humor.

11. But, Living dangerously is so exciting!

Levi's should put a tag in that little pocket that points out that it's "just the right size for a condom". :)

13. Hah! I like that! I like to think up ideas for ads...

Might have done it as a job, but didn't want to have to make cigarette ads, or for other stuff I wouldn't want to help sell.

Bad Idea Jeans???? ;)

16. Only as dangerous as people who already do all that in real life.
