Aww… The Gap is trying everything to revive their failing brand. Those of us in the industry know they are really struggling. Good Luck to them.

When all else fails in your marketing, try using some black people.

Wow at Don Cheadle is all I can say! Definitely a surprise, I didn’t know his body was like that. I like how playful his and Chris Rock’s ads are.

Dang! Is that Don’s real muscle or is it airbrushed to look bigger? He didn’t look nothing like that in Hotel Rwanda or Crash
Still…..He look good in that picture!

I must be in the minority because I think Chris Rock looks best among the three. He is the most animated and makes you look at his ad twice. If I saw it at a bus stop or a building somewhere, I would look again. I am not sure I buy into this campaign. I will support tuberculosis and Aids in other ways.

This is a very lovely campaign and I LOVE IT!!!!! I love seeing celebs come together for a common purpose in a non-offensive (at least I think so) way.
Don Cheadle is SEXUAL CHOCOLATE–That’s wassup!And I LOVE CHRIS’ FACE…it’s priceless…I would purchase some Christmas gifts to support the cause, definitely!
I even saw Oprah and Bono? shopping to support the campaign…they reportedly brought Ipods and Ipod accessories and some Gap clothing! Loves it!
Thanks for the post!!!
