Old Navy: Love the clothes. HATE the ads.
That Bermuda shorts commercial makes me want to go totally postal.

1. Hate the ads, too. Also hate the clothes, and hate the people who wear 'em
"Look! I'm a billboard!"

Well, no I don't really hate the people who wear them - my niece and nephew like the clothing a lot.

I don't like the clothes at all, though.

Some of the dumbest tripe I've ever seen.

I usually don't like their ads, but I think this one is kind of funny.

5. The clothes are so cheaply made they are practically falling apart
on the racks.

7. The ads are meant to get you...
... to buy the clothes. If you're repelled by the ads, perhaps the clothes should repel you, as well.

If their ads bother you, have a look at this:

http://www.behindthelabel.org/pdf/Sweatshopfiles.pdf

Page down toward the end for The Gap's association with sweatshops.

Eliminating just one national ad campaign of theirs could probably double the wages of their workers....
