Saks clothes being advert. here ugliest ever?

OK, so anyone that knows me, or better yet seen how I dress is going to find it difficult to comprehend that I'm starting a thread about clothes . So even though I rarely even notice what someone is wearing, the ads that are currently running here (maybe it's because I have so long to look at the ads while waiting for the thread to show up?) from Saks are the butt ugliest looking clothes I've ever had the misfortune to behold. I thought they were a joke at first, but no, I really think they expect to sell this stuff. Maybe it's me (probably, I think Carhartt is a designer brand) but really, isn't this stuff hideous? OK, back to the sailing forums.

+1 jrd! The Aston Martin and Hustler ads I can dig...but the Saks crap has got to go!

Yes, yes I know this is Google advertising based on my searches. But just because I've looked into leasing an AM does NOT mean I want to look like a slightly gay version of Eddie Haskell while driving said sweet ride.

So, jrd, this begs the question, what have you Googled lately?

Faster- yes I do, thank you. I know they pay the bills, but a trenchcoat over an orange striped shirt that looks like it got swiped from a penitentiary, and shorts? For a bunch of sailors?
Smack- I don't Google but thanks for the +1:-))
