And, to keep this on topic, do you find spiritual fulfillment from shopping at mainstream chain stores?

Very. Whoever those people are, the woman speaks too loud.
I had to mute my speakers because of it.

I muted my computer. It was waaaay annoying.
Don't these people realize that next time I think "where am I going to buy a new shirt or pair of pants?" - the very last place I will ever go is "The GAP" because of the annoyance!
I feel the same way about the print ads that cover up my "Sports" section in the L.A. Times. I make a mental note every time it happens and vow to never shop at whatever store has defiled my newspaper.
And I get nothing spiritual from shopping, period.

It is annoying and very distracting while I'm trying to read people's questions. Until you just pointed out, I didn't even know that it was an ad for the GAP, just something annoying!
I don't believe in buying Name brand products, when I can by three of the same quality for the Price of One.
I hope the GAP sees all these negative responses to their ad!
Now that you brought it to my attention, it's even more louder and really annoying, annoying and annoying. I don't even what to look at anymore questions, just not to hear or see that ad!
Hey! GAP! CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!

It is terrible. I never want to see a Gap store ever again. I have been programmed by Yahoo to have feelings of discomfort, anger and inconvenience every time I see a GAP.
When I walk down the mall, I avoid the store, because I know I don't have much time to get my shopping done.

To keep me in line with my religious beliefs, I block all ads (so I haven't seen the ad in question). I block all pop-up ads and windows as well, for the one instance of finding an inappropriate image coming online and one of my three little ones eyeing it on accident.
I don't shop mainstream chain stores (much) either, but rather prefer to go to local establishments to help the small businessman, who happens to be my neighbor (so I'm helping them out & their family) not some corporate stock that hinges on making a profit.
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Hate the ad.
Mainstream chain stores? Boycott Gap.

I turned the sound off, so can ignore it just as easily as all the other ads on most internet pages.
And I can't remember ever having bought something from GAP, though it's not impossible. I usually shop at thrift stores, mainly because they offer maximum variety of fashion styles and aren't stuck on a single one.

Annoying enough that I left a comment about it on the Suggestions page and I never do that.
I listen to music all the time when on the computer and I can hear them right through Nazareth....

I know that the Gap and Old Navy are owned by the same corporation, and that I can't set foot in an Old Navy store...they give me the fear.

I've had to turn the sound off, the ad is driving me crazy. I've stayed away from all shopping centers and have done my shopping online this year.
