There are few among us who don't love our jeans. They've been with us through thick and thin. We can pair them with a nice blouse and go to work. We can pair them with a pair of heels and hit the bar. We can pair them with a ratty t-shirt and lounge all afternoon. Yes, we love our jeans, and our jeans love us. But the people who make our jeans? Not so much.
it wasn't long ago that we were talking about Wrangler's "We are animals " campaign, but they aren't the only denim manufacturers with disgusting ad campains right now. Jezebel recently brought to our attention Mark Ecko's "Hot Girls Make Great Clothes " thong fest, complete with videos of bikini clad women slaving away to make sexy jeans, which, of course, none of them are wearing. And Levi's latest "Live Unbuttoned" campaign isn't much better.
Apparently jeans aren't for wearing, they're for taking off in scandalous, sexually suggestive situations. What's the deal?

I can see the upside.
Exactly what could be the upside, MDS? That some people could find it 'sexy?' That you find it sexy? Well, guess what? Mutilated, raped, dead women are not sexy. They are crime victims. I really could care less what you choose to masturbate to, but selling dead women to the public as 'sexy' does not sit right with me.
What is up with all these trolls lately, anyway?
