This Woman Had The Best Response To This Hugely Offensive Plus-Sized Shorts Ad




Advertising clothes is a pretty simple concept. You put the clothes you want to sell on someone, take a photo of the clothes on that person, and put that photo on display for prospective buyers to see how the clothes will fit. The most important part of this process is making sure that the clothes actually “fit” so that potential customers can see how the clothes look. I’m not an advertising major by any means, but this seems like a fairly simple and straightforward concept. 


Well, maybe it’s not as straightforward as you think, because some retailers have not grasped that idea.


This clothing designer fired back when she saw an offensive ad for plus-size clothing. Her response will make you want to stand up and cheer. 


COMMENT to let us know what you think about her photo.











Christina Ashman is an art and fashion designer. 


She runs Interrobang Arts and Fashion based in Bristol, United Kingdom. 




She creates custom pieces that are sold online. 


“I have always loved creating things – whether it’s a skirt, a cake or a painting, when I’m making something I’m happy,” wrote Ashman on the Interrobang Facebook page. 











Ashman stumbled across this article on HelloGiggles.


The ad depicts an obviously petite woman modeling a pair of shorts that are clearly not her size. “We’ve seen a lot of marketing fails in our day, but this one is just bonkers,” read the article. “Found on Wish, a shopping website/app, a listing for a pair of plus-size shorts depicts a thin model essentially wearing one of the legs as a skirt.”




“When I first saw the ad…


… I thought it was really insulting to plus-size women everywhere,” Ashman told Self. “If you’re selling a plus-size product, it should be advertised on a plus-size model”She responded to the ad by posting this photo…

Can Your Ex Tell The Difference Between Adele Lyrics And Drunk Texts? This Girl Found Out!

Adele’s new song “Hello” is perfect listening for anyone who wants to unnecessarily relive the emotional trauma of having your heart shattered into a billion pieces. The song is about the failures of reconnecting with a loved one after painful years apart. If you can get through the song without having a crippling, tear-soaked breakdown, then you likely have no heart. You also might find that the lyrics are uncannily similar to a drunken text you might send your ex. Mary Caldera noticed this similarity and decided to test it out on her ex-boyfriend, Matt. Poor Matt clearly didn’t get the reference. Naturally, Matt assumed Mary was just drunk texting him, and his deadpan and confused response is brilliant. If you think Mary was cruel for texting Matt and getting his hopes up, well, she didn’t stop there. She also posted the entire exchange on Twitter, much to our delight!
