I think I am going to go throw up now myself... What parent would let their kid be in that kind of ad? that is the creepy part.

They are saying sex is cool. To a 15 year-old, this is going to have an impact. It is very irresponsible on Levi's part to promote such a thing.

That's just creepy. When a couple of obviously 15-year-olds stare deeply into each others' eyes as they get undressed, you know what is going through everyone's heads. For Levi's to play off of that makes them uber-creepy. I'm sure their marketing guys are going to say "but the jeans aren't for you, the ads aren't for you." To which I will remind them, "yes, but I control the purchasing for the people you're trying to reach, so you can guess whose jeans we WON'T be buying in the next couple of months." Creeps. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! That’s just creepy.

It doesn't matter how many views someone gets. It all has to do with sales. @Amy I was going to make a comment about Stephen took the words right out of mouth!

Perhaps it's what they're saying that leads you to think something else? Or maybe it's because I knew what the outcome was going to be?

And to address Amy's comment- memorable marketing is not necessarily good marketing. Sure it may have done its job in leaving a lasting impression, but it was a very bad impression. Point-in-case, my wife and I were walking through the mall and saw a Levi's print ad in one of the stores. We quickly recalled the ad and went into a different store...

I thought it was odd that there was water in the background when it began. I really wanted to finish the commercial, once I realized the water was there to see whether it was sex or not. Looks like it could easily be a friend with benefits case either way. At least it’s difficult to have sex underwater.
