I thought they were pretty Nice, many yonger guys out there wear pants low waisted and such. I know I can't stand the idea of the waist of a kilt pants or other wise being up to my navel.
I am sure the advertisments were ment to grab attention and suprise you and at the same time show off the models as "sexy" apealing and such. While they are a little more then I care for they are not close to as bad as a Ambercrombie catologue or something akin to that.
