DO YOU THINK THIS CONFIRMS OR CHALLENGES TRADITIONAL GENDER ROLES? HOW?
I think it shows how guys try to be really in shape and strong. It kind of makes a sex object out of the man though, which is different.
DO YOU THINK THIS AD IS APPROPRIATE FOR ALL VIEWERS?
Yeah. You see guys with their shirts off all the time. It's normal.
DO YOU THINK IT APPROPRIATELY PROMOTES WHAT GAP AIMS TO SELL?
Again, I don't see how you can try to sell clothes and then cover up the clothes in the pictures.
DOES THIS AD ENCOURAGE OR DISCOURAGE YOU, PERSONALLY, IN BUYING THE PRODUCTS ADVERTISED? HOW?
It's hard to tell. He's a good actor so I guess some people might want to buy this shirt just because he is wearing it.
