PeaceBang heartily concurs with alert reader ChaliceChick, who sent her the following e-mail:
Things about this ad that annoy me:
1. Fugly shirt
2. Fugly jeans
3. That they call them “Ex-Jeans”
4. That the “boyfriend” blazer appears to have goofy white cuffs.
5. That they use the word “bromance” at all.
The clothes are ugly, the ad copy is insipid, and you should avert your eyes. No pastor should be wearing blazers with rolled cuffs or jeans with cuffed bottoms and pumps. That shirt also needs to be dropped into the nearest landfill.
Never mind pastors–NOBODY in real life should wear blazers with rolled cuffs or jeans with cuffed bottoms. And who in hell wears *pumps* with jeans anyway?
Good. Grief. That hurts.
I don’t even understand that ad … the “bromance?” What does ones pants have to do with one’s exes?
I just don’t understand the concept of wearing a blazer oversized and with the sleeves rolled up so as to look sloppy. If I wanted to look sloppy and wear something oversized, I’d wear a huge fleece sweatshirt.
In their defense, I have some really good clothes from them, I just have to choose them VERY carefully.
