Lane Bryant is beautiful

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

It’s been 2 days since the Lane Bryant commercial aired on television. The question is will we see more ads like this, and if they will be treated like other commercials of the same nature. If you don’t know what commercial is being referred to here it is. Now I realize that ABC found this [...]

Quotes of Cindy Sheehan – comedy or tragedy?
