Awful Ad

Why do I have to stare at a young girls butt when I log into this site?

I am referring to the ad that you have running titled "Wherever Life takes you We are behind you All the way"

It is that big of deal to me.... The same ad seems to be on every page... even as I am typing the message.

Should we also make one focused on their breast?

Here is the ad in question.

Call me over sensitive but I don't think we need 15 year old girls being "Butt Models" for a website used mainly for middle aged men..... The way my daughters butt looks in her softball pants has never been a deciding factor... comfort yes... but that is not portrayed in this ad.

If they are trying to advertise to my daughter then this is NOT the proper venue as she never visits this site.

Hey Luther relax 1) You are right about the HB demographic, what you fail to realize is the people who buy the pants are here .... the DD's just wear them 2)Fashion education 101: it's the fit & girls are different than boys in regard to what uniforms they wear be it comfort, style, "hip/trend" factor too 3) If your eyes are drawn to the picture advertisers have done their job well 4) it is not lewd IMHO in any way shape or form, but I'm Presbyterian :D 5) Softball is a business, Uno has expenses to cover 6) TV be it cable or all networks whether prime time or anytime always had a sexual quotient (overt, implied & subliminally) that is at least 10 times more provocative,.

Dude do live under a rock ? Butt models wear "dental floss" thongs :lol: NOT softball pants that fit great & look good dirty

Yea I agree... Poor judgment and poor choice. Nothing wrong with the original.

Luther,,,I showed the add/page to my dw....she asked why and are you serious.
Yes it is a butt, butt it is a butt in uniform. Make no butts about it.
For all you know that is a friends dd.,,,,,,,so stop looking at your friends dd's butt.
Just be thankful that it doesn't dump on this post below it.
The Gluv people are good people, they have quality products that the girls luv.
They may be tough, they play hard, they play with heart, but they are still girls.
and girls like to look good.

The burka uniforms are not doing so well.

Safebyhare.....I understand that your wife may not have a problem with the ad but my wife is a child advocate and she does not understand why someone would advertise in such a way.

Maybe this will be the next ad???..... Atleast I used a model that was over 21.

PS... I don't doubt they are great people at Gluv... I jus don't like the picture they used for the advertisement.
