wow these are fucking creepy. They're apparently aimed at "young people" and they were banned in the us, I guess.

My business law teacher mentioned them last week, and showed them to us today.

And he saves the most suggestive sounding stuff for the guys mostly, always talking about their eyes and their bodies.

Oh. My. Gods.

That's the creepiest thing I've ever seen.

Umm, does anyone feel like buying CK stuff? Seems to me those are meant to make you want to but I'm just not seeing how its supposed to work.

Not particularly, I don't wear jeans anymore.

Old Man Count and his plaid slacks?

I wear CK jeans, but they're not as easy to get anymore. The capri and low waist styles make it tough to find girl's jeans in my height. Not that boy's jeans fit, either. Bleah.

Seconded. I haven't worn jeans in 20 years. My husband doesn't wear them, either.

Mostly different shades of brown khaki, with a few pairs of black dress slacks for dressier occasions.

Trying to look nice. I'm on the market now, you know.

Now that you mention it, I had a choice at Macy's last Friday evening between CK and Levi.
CK jeans were darker and more balls room, which is essential, you see.
Levi fit better. More ass revealing. And as a skinny musician, that's also essential
I went with Levi because they were cheaper. And.. well.. fit better.

But if I saw this vid before shopping, it would have been a creepy flashback as I listen to the mental voice of some guy say
"Do you you like your body?"
To which I reply, "No, not really. Deskwork makes me flabby. Or maybe it's the 3 to 4 hours of driving every day. That, and I ain't exactly a teen any more. Oh, hand me the size 33 waist, I've put on a pound or two."
"Have you ever made love in a movie?"
"Fuck.. I wish. But don't expect it with you, if that's what you're hoping for."
"Those jeans look good on you."
"You're a creepy homo. You must know that by now."

Wait, only homosexuals are allowed to complement men's looks?

yeah, I stopped wearing jeans several years ago, more or less on the notation that only the ...mentally challenged kids at my high school wore jeans, everyone else wore other stuff, so I started wearing black military surplus cargo pants ...to go with my combat boots and field jacket(with the heartless symbol painted on the front)... yes, I was that kid. I still wear cargo pants, and yesterday I bought a pair of bondage pants(those strappy, black with various coloured accents affairs from hot topic) because many of my friends have had them, and this is the first time I've ever owned them. I also bought a little raygun belt buckle... }:)

No.
But watch the video.
Listen to the comments the 'interviewer' gives to the last 2 guys.
Assume what you will.

I hope not, I compliment guy's looks all the time. In fact, I feel more comfortable complimenting men because I'm a pretty blatantly straight guy, and most men will assume I'm not coming on to them. Most women seem like they assume the opposite, which gets awkward when I don't actually mean anything by it except they look nice.

See, that's how it should, be, Count. ^-^

Yeah, in the ads, how he says it is what makes it extra creepy. It doesn't come off like off-the-cuff, non-erotic comments at all.

Crissa · Post by **Crissa** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 8:02 am

Duh, Wiz.

It's something about the tone of voice that implies a question or request other than what is actually said.
That, IMO, is the creepfactor.

Crissa · Post by **Crissa** » Sat Apr 05, 2008 8:42 am

Honestly, what you think is there, really was intended.

It was a role-reversal with what normally is expressed towards women.

I thought it was honest and awesome - and a bit sexy.

Guys just can't take it, apparently.

Actually, I would have thought it creepy even if he'd done the same stuff to the women in a TV ad.

Count Arioch the 28th · Sat Apr 05, 2008 1:54 pm

I also don't like it when they say the same thing to women, but I don't care enough about the ads to get worked up over them.

He did, although he didn't seem as into it.

Yay! Feminist men!

See, Count, you understand more than you think. ^-^
