Gas-X Sweatpants Ad (Joke/Proposed)
We see women walking through a mall wearing sweatpants with words printed on the posterior such as Juicy Couture and Victoria’s Secret Pink bands do (printing the words: “Juicy” or: “Pink”, respectively, on the butt), but this time the words, printed in beautiful, frilly lettering, say: “Gassy”, “Stinky”, “Bloated”, etc. One of these women sees an angle of herself from behind in a shop window, reflected from the window on the other side of the door, out of the corner of her eye, and she notices that the word printed on the butt of her sweatpants is: “Gassy”, so shocked, she pulls her shirt tail down over the word and looks around to see other women with similar words printed on the backsides of their sweatpants. Then the announcer says: “Does your gas and bloating feel like it’s announcing itself to everyone around you? Make it stop, with Gas-X.”
