I USED TO LOVE CALVIN KLIEN ADS- THEY WERE ALWAYS SO SEXY! WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT HERE TODAY. HOW IS THIS TO PROVIDE ANY INSPIRATION OR GOOD FEELINGS TO WANT TO BUY THEIR CLOTHING.?

Surely this is a parody….?! Or a comp from Little Britain….?! This has nothing whatsoever to do with gender or body size or sexual orientation or shaming. This is an ill shaped & ill fitting product, and a poorly composed ad. What on earth…..
