SEAN!!!! I suspect that the 'GAP black denim' advert is a bit sexistly objectifying

creakyknees [Edit] [Delete] 09:31, 19 September '14

it shows a picture of a womans bum clad in denim (It is a bumshape that is being promoted as a currently fashionable ideal)
It then says "popular for a reason"

This can't be right surely? the only way to make this OK would have to have said "popular for a superficial reason"

Srsly I actually think its objectifying, so Im pretty certain some others would do too.

I realise that you have to have adverts to fund.
BUT I did respond to your request to remove adblocker from my browser, which I have.
I put up with the inconvenience of the roll over ads and the flickering and slowing down of loading, but I would appreciate it if you would reciprocate and work backwards and give feedback to GAP over their marketing.
