Kardashian fans slam Kim’s bizarre new Skims ad as a 'cult recruitment video' and say her models look 'scary' | The Sun
KIM Kardashian's newest ad for her Skims line has been slammed online.
Fans say the stylized commercial looks like a failed spoof.
Kim released the ad Tuesday to promote her new "fits everybody" line of bras.
In a series of photos and a video on Instagram, models of various sizes, shapes and ethnicities tout the undergarments.
But the commercial, out of focus and styled to look like a lost ad from the 1980's, ended up turning people off.
In an online forum, fans had their say.
"What in the cult recruitment video is this?" one person asked, while another echoed: "Why do i feel like they just tried to recruit me into their cult."
A third joked: "Looks like an SNL skit."
While one criticized: "Looks like one of those Dharma Initiative videos they had in the bunker in Lost."
And one person nostalgically noted: "Hello 1980 ads! Like looking at a Sears catalogue."

POOR SUPPORT
It hasn't been a good week for ads featuring Kim's intimates.
Just a day earlier, critics lashed out at the Kardashians star's Skims bras, after seeing major underboob in a new ad for the brand.
The promotion was meant to announce a new line of underwear featuring a raw hem.
In the advertisement, a model rocked an olivey-brown bra and panty set which showed serious underboob.
The model pulled at the sides of the bottoms, which nearly led to a wardrobe malfunction of epic proportions.
CRITIC'S CHOICE
After Skims shared the ad on Instagram, Kardashian critics took grabs and shared them on Reddit.
Fans ripped Kim's company apart, with one writing: "I'm not sure what annoys me more: the awkward bra or the ill-fitting panties."
Another wrote: "Why would anyone want anything with raw edges? Lol like, that s**t will get torn apart in the wash."
A third commenter chimed in: "My saggy boobs will start flying in every direction possible if I wear it. The mental image is making me ROFL."
Someone else commented: "Raw edge….unfinished seams lol? It reminds me [of] when those skirts with the uncovered elastic bands were in. Just a way to market cheap production. Hilarious."
A fourth critic joked: "I would have to lift my arms once and the bra turns into a turtleneck."
Another commenter wrote: "It doesn’t even cover the model's full bottom area lol. Like it legit looks uncomfortable even on the model. This looks more made for the male gaze than trying to sell women a product."
