You need some new sneakers and go out to pick some, would you mind buying Reebok?.

Now, take a look at Reebok's new campaign. Would your answer be different now?.

How does it feel being treated like a blockhead?.

I thought DDB was better than that.

My but that's a condescending approach... Blockhead? No, I'd say they were aiming at airheads; all style and no substance.

Should go down a treat with the 95% of the population who think "blockhead" is an upgrade for them.

As a man I would say it's stupid to wear shoes that make walking harder.

And as far as I know women I would say that if they want to have sexy legs they wear high heels. That's instant and doesn't require a workout.

Therefore my verdict is: FAIL.

I wonder what effect those shoes have on your, you know, feet.

Shaddim · Nov 10, 2009, 07:28 PM

That's terrible!

I wonder where I can buy two pair...

Me: How do you feel about Reebok shoes?
Wife: I had them in sixth grade and I was a loser. I don't like them.
Me: Okay, after viewing these ads, how do you feel?
Wife: Oh, those shoes! I want those. You should buy them for me for Christmas.

That chick is pretty tiny. When they promise "better butt" I was expecting J.Lo or Beyonce, not Kate Moss.

nobody can understand women, including themselves.

My wife looked at the ad and said "Puh-lEEze." She said that it was sad that Reebock thought they could make people buy something with the promise that just buying those shoes would make them look like the woman in the picture, and even sadder that they'd probably be right with a lot of women.

Inspired no doubt when some Reebok designer's wife or girlfriend asked him if her shoes made her butt look too big.

The thing is this shoe may make butts larger, like the stairmaster. Unless caloric intake is greatly reduced, we may face a generation of iron horse arsed women. Huge rock solid butts crushing and reducing men's paradise to dust, leaving the weak trembling in fear.
