If you were in San Francisco, the Gap skinny black pant ad campaign would suffocate you at the Montgomery Street station (more than 25 full-size billboard on two levels of the station). These ads would be chasing you on the Muni bus and on the sides of the highways across the streets of the city.
But it's not just in my city. It's in every city, oversaturated marketing trying to get your money and put you in these too short, too ugly, too revealing pants. Gap has given them a cutesy name, the skinny black pant. "Skinny" is right there in the title, so they are already excluding those who are, well, not Audrey Hepburn, who is featured in the clever TV spots (she is vomitting in her grave).

This look can also be achieved by using a blowtorch to char away excess flesh and muscle, leaving the desired stick-like black appendages -- and all without a bothersome trip to the mall! You won't be able to walk, but at least you'll have 'the look' that the GAP tattooed on your brain with their campaigns.
