I still don't understand how this campaign won anything. Am I missing something? It just seems like a fashion-y photo technique, with people acting like sexy animals. What does animals have to do with anything? What does this have to do with jeans? Is this a European thing?

I for one love this campaign. It reminds me at core we are all primates, mammals, vertebrates. This fact defines us at a very basic level. Not sure where this is going, but it's a compelling thought.

Don't get me wrong. I don't hate it. In fact, for fashion advertising, it's not bad. I agree w/ others that the models are well-handled, the lighting's good, and overall it's refreshing; especially for run-of-the-mill jeans. But it just seems like there's a bigger idea here that they're leaning towards…. which ends up not making much sense. To be precise, I really don't get the connection between "wrangler" and "animals".

Is it "bad"? No. …but I'm really struggling with the consensus that this is "brilliant".

"Wrangler - the official jean of people that run around shirtless and drink from muddy streams."

I'd like to shoot a muddy stream all over this campaign.

Sirvan - your post and tagline are ironic ;-D

This brand often use "animal man" in their ad and win. Maybe this kind of thing being a signature of this brand. their fans for it.

We might be animals, but this is a BAD ad ..

I'm here doing this, but feel I should be there doing that. But to do that, I have to be doing this. Does this make sense or do I have to explain that?
