okay, stop, now you're just talking out of your... ahem... well, i guess it is a logical next step for a company that promoted hiphuggers with singing navels, at least for their european consumers.

I thought the navel ads were GAP, not Lee Jeans... shame AdCritic isn't around any more.

It's astonishing that this concept could have made it out of the creative meeting, the storyboarding, the client meeting, the scripting, casting, directing and shooting without anybody noticing that wasn't funny.

Uh, the singing bellybutton ad was for Levi's Superlow jeans. Lee's advertising the last couple of years has centered around the Buddy Lee doll. This may be an admission that they need to imitate the more well-received Levi's campaigns.

The creepiest part of this ad is that somebody seems to have gone in and digitally added little dimples in the back to serve as eyes. Very strange.
