How Lame is the Gap?

The thought process behind this newish Gap ad is sadly transparent. The designers were obviously going for some sort of twee look of blithe ignorance. Isn’t that what’s popular with all the hipsters these days? Standing by a bus stop with your toes pointed in, pigeon style, maybe slouching a little. You definitely wouldn’t want to smile. Maybe just look confused?

    If you ever make fun of G.O.B. Bluth and his seal-trainer/army wife again, I will cease reading your blog posts from that day forward. This threat also applies, somewhat, if you make fun of Will Arnett or spouse Amy Poehler, unless, you know, they deserve it. This, though, is undeserving, and you should just remove the post.

    warning @ 1: If you ever, like, write a sentence with, um, well, uh, I dunno, like, a million (or maybe a zillion) parenthetical phrases, I will, you know, stuff a breakfast sandwich up your, um, ass.
