Why would anyone in thier right mind be offended by this ad? your focus on it borders on the rediculous.

I think this is funny Some of my friends look better in pants than shorts. Maby some of the people who are insulted should look at their back ends, then get with the program.

Actually, its great advertising! It's the TRUTH!!!!!!!!! I'm one of those people...I look AWFUL IN SHORTS!!!!! Don't take every small thing to heart. GAP, great advertising!!! Thumbs Up!

.....really??? People are really offended by this?? I mean it's not like it's not true....everyone doesn't look good in shorts....please get a life people :-)

I guess any ad was better than... "Our Bedbugs are gone".

Depends on the shorts! If you wear the right size (unless you are 300lbs), you can pull it off. Its the people who walk around in Spandex 2 sizes too small that look bad. Sometimes the same people can wear the same size in pants and look just as bad.

HEY, ITS WORKING! COMMERCIALS ARE MEANT TO GET THE CONSUMER TO EITHER REMEMBER THE PRODUCT OR THE STORE. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE OR AGREE WITH THE ADS, DONT LOOK AT THEM!
THIS IS LIFE PEOPLE, DEAL WITH IT!!
have a great day!!

Funny.....& true!!

Stop being butt hurt, cheeky. School is about to start, the fall line is out already (100 degrees here NOT Autumn).

It's just advertisement. I am not offended by the ad, if people are then maybe they are just too thin skinned and they just want something to complain about. Truth is some do need to put some pants on! LOL!

where does it say this is for over-weight people? not all skinny people look good in shorts all of the time.

What, can't handle the truth. Thunder thighs should be kept wrapped up in pants, & make sure your shirt/blouse is long enough to cover you muffin top while your at it.

please! r u seriously offended by the truth? if u r overweight then u know not 2 wear shorts anyway and it doesnt necesarilly have 2 do with weight cuz some skinny people dont lok good in shorts either. u should know wat fits 4 ur body shape. not offensive but funny :) thumbs up on this ad

fatties are so sensitive. yeah, a 300 lb woman (or err, man) in skintight booty shorts getting sucked up by rolls is a scary sight.

Bravo, Gap! Bravo! Enough said.

I think it's great. I think the next ad should say;
"Spandex is a Privilege...Not a Right"

I like this ad I'm not offended as some have said some people just can't wear shorts. And those that are offended by the ad complain just to complain.

When the back of ones knees look like a butt crack one should not wear shorts.
