Someone else hire this woman to model for their products in rebellion please

This is fucking hilarious.

I don’t know the whole story, but unfortunately a joke that is found funny by a lot of us, might not be so funny to other people when it’s slapped up somewhere public. If this offended enough people, they could lose a great deal of business. Which is a mystery in and of itself how they even stay in business. 30 bucks for fucking tights? Yeah ok.
