Ad Rant: The Effects of Feel-Good Fashion
Now, I appreciate a good deal.
But I don't appreciate yelling. In an office setting. On my TV.
And normally, my good deals don't come from a chain store known for its cheap clothing. They come from thrift stores, outlets, or sale racks. Because I am seriously cheap. Stuff that costs more than $10, say, doesn't scream "good deal" to me, just on principle.
So the Old Navy commercial with the girl in the office shrieking about how great air is and how much she enjoys breathing? Should stop breahting now for being such a dipshit. I feel no empathy for this character; how could her vapidness encourage me to buy cheap, trendy clothes?
It doesn't. Stupid commercials.
