Christmas Comes Early
'Tis the season to be bombarded with advertising. We must sit through 20 minutes of gift-giving ideas to see 10 minutes of television. It's no wonder then that the first time I saw the new Gap commercial it was merely a flurry of skinny girls and horizontal stripes. The only people, I might add, who would wear so many horizontal stripes. It was upon the second viewing, however, that I thought I saw... Could it be?... YES IT IS! Christmas has come early; Hot Dancing Gap Guy is back on the air!
Make with the Dancing
While I was quite pleased to see my ole dancing hottie, I had to give pause. I didn't find myself weak in the knees. Nor was I counting down the minutes until the next commercial break. Could it be that my torrid infatuation with my media crush was over? Upon further review of the advertisement, I realize it's not that Gap Guy isn't eye candy. It's that he's not really dancing much this go around, and the DANCING was intrinsic to his hotness. So see, it's not all about looks. It's about looking good while you're shaking that ass.
So please Gap, less stripy chics, and more dancin' hottie!
