So, ads are supposed to make me want to purchase what's in the ad right? Especially fashion related?

This is the most unflattering lingerie I have ever seen.

Makes her looks like she has an odd body. Maybe she has an odd body and the company are an equal opportunities employer and she's actually disabled. YOU BITCH!

Are those some sort of maternity panties?

seriously. Aren't these type of things supposed to make a woman more appealing?

It's not working. And to be fair, I have a short torso and wide hips like she does and would look just as bad.

i often wonder why certain peoples (read: hipster ladies to whom AA ads are targeted) wear such awful unflattering things. i have never seen so many skinny girls look so awkward. and that girl on the ad probably has a bangin body, but you really cant tell.

The Sasha Grey (http://missionmission.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/sasha-grey-american-apparel-ad.jpg) ad sort of cancels out any wrong they've done in my mind.

thats NSFW in the slightest, btw.

She was weird in The Girlfriend Experience. Really good in scenes where she could've floated, and really bad in a scene where it really counted.

A few google news searches for American Apparel and its not difficult to see why the adds are bizzaro or creepy.
