How times have changed

Danny came across this ad and showed it to me. I was SHOCKED...and quite entertained. I will be the first to admit that I am "chubby"...but easy on Lane Bryant and this ad. There is something that is such a slam the way they worded the fact that "chubbies are those who can't fit into regular sizes". Ouch! It's still funny though (to me).


(This is Danny) The original place this can be found is here, along with a couple of other weird vintage ads.
