Nike's latest ad camaign for "real" women
So listen. I do appreciate the attempt of Nike to reach out to us “real women” and all. I like the poem even. I can relate to it. I can raise my glass to the message. I love that every day I get to be surrounded by women to want to be strong and fit and athletic. I love that the women at our gym aren’t the ones who show up at Curves declaring the cliche “I don’t want to get big, I just want to get toned and sculpted.” (Btw, no crap! I’ve never heard of a girl coming in with the goal of becoming massive and bulky! That’s not our goal here.) I love that we are surrounded by strong athletic women who embrace a full athletic figure and who work hard to get it. And I (kind of) appreciate that Nike is apparently attempting to reach out to us.
But is that really our idea of a big butt? Is it just me or is that girl like a size zero? Instead of turning this post into my own personal soap box, I want to hear from you. Please comment if you see the multi level oxymoronic nature of the above ad. Please comment with any of your thoughts.
