Everyone come to Cincinnati this summer. We're going to hit up some Old Navy stores before we go run around in the intersections. If you plan to come, do not eat anything from this day forward as we will be giving out awards for "thinnest explorer" and best "mysapce picture while looking in the mirror". Nikon D50's and point and shoot cameras only kids. RSVP by pming me, remember no one buys the same outfit as another explorer!

This may come as a shock to some, but the term "urban explorer" has long been used as a term for a variety of different things- most of which have had nothing to do with trespassing or abandoned buildings.

For eg:

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 31, 2000 - The Ford Urban Explorer concept is designed for customers who want an expressive sport utility vehicle (SUV) with style and practicality for everyday city driving, but also want the capability to get to where they're going when the weather or the terrain gets rough.

It doesn't hold spray cans or red bull cans, it holds beer cans. You can fit about thirty cans inside, if you leave your throwing stars, tabby boots, respirator, and all other equally worthless ninja "UE gear" at home.

Most def. The police in Cincy care about more than just trespassing.

i've never set foot in an Old Navy... struck me as clothes for skinny beautiful people like Aeropostale, Gap and Abercrombie and Bitch.




old navy is not a skinny shop at all, and yes I've been there. Abercrombie and Hollister geez, could the music be any louder, the perfume stink anymore and stupid rich bitch 13yr olds running around with daddy's gold card.....

I love it when people from the suburbs come to the city to slum in the eatons center.

Means you better keep your fashion sense in line, else the po-po will be on your ass like a mu'umu'u on a fat man's torso.

I have to say, from a marketing perspective, that I understand where Old Navy is coming from. They are trying to show off their "Safari" inspired spring line to the teens, tweens, and twentysomethings middle income demographics that exist mostly in a suburban or metropolitan area. So safari plus suburbs to them equals Urban Explorer.

It sounds catchy and exciting, inflames the danger senses of genX-ers who are staring down the barrel of thirty and don't want to feel old, gives a sense of self importance to the barely legal GenY crowd, and provides a natural output for the tweenyboppers looking for an excuse to act like little snot nosed brats. Throw in obvious MySpace visual references and some brainless eyecandy for boys and girls both and you've got an ad campaign.

All that said, why the hell did I just watch this? It's a prime example of how Old Navy is trying to irritate everyone to death.

'Minimal collateral damage' and 'Entire star system' do not belong in the same sentence.
