No joke.

I don't get it.
I don't like it.
Dear Old Navy,
I know the economy is bad.  Creepy "Modelquins" don't require you to pay them or feed them and they don't ask to keep the clothes.
But really?
What crack smoking ad team thought up this wackadoodle concept?
I buy nearly all of my clothes at your stores.
Now however I don't even want to look at the new spring line.
I am way too distracted by the horrible commercials and ridiculous spokesmodels.

So, please start hiring humans again!
I would love to buy some new clothes without risking future nightmares.

    I know exactly what you mean! Those modelquins give me the creeps. I don't even want to go near them in the store. I work in advertising, and I can't believe they were able to sell in that idea for an ad campaign to ON. Surely, there's lots of $$ being saved by not paying actual people!

    By the way--love your blog!

    I totally agree! I honestly get a little scared when I see that commercial. Kind of like watching a movie with clowns or something.... creepy.

    We don't get "TV" (channels - we have a TV, just use the DVD and VCR) and the thought of this ad alone is making me glad we don't. These could be worse than those Bratz dolls.

    I've seen so many people on twitter complaining about this too!

    They are a bit freaky, to say the least.

    And when I walked into the store recently, I kinda epected them to start talking. Yikes!

    Guess I'm in the minority, I actually think the commercials are pretty funny and well thought out. The one where the guy snapped his finger off made me LOL
