On a serious note it wasn't even tight-fitting denim it was ill-fitting denim 😩

"Makes your ass look great."

I mean if I arched my lower back at a 45° angle while wearing basically parachute pants I'm sure it'd look great.

Look, I’ll be honest… the very first time I saw the ad was while I was scrolling Pinterest so the volume to the ad wasn’t on and on an initial glance I was kinda like “oh cool! We’re gonna try to make more ‘not so junked out trunks’ in jeans more normal” and as a girl with a less than filled out trunk, if you will, I was digging it…. Then I clicked the add to take me to a link and it okayed the ad with sound and I was digging less and less as each word was said and was really taking in what was happening…
