Watched the ad before I read the copy; assumed it was an ad for some kind of Apple Pay-like product. Like, you can go out with nothing but your smart watch because you don’t need anything else. I’m pleased to learn it was about body positivity!

I can’t believe they’d show that on TV. Those people were riding scooters with no footwear and in wet conditions!

I don’t know about the pearl-clutching. These folks were a lot happier than the naked celebs on Comedy Central in the voting/ballot PSAs. Haven’t seen a lot of backlash about those ads, but I don’t watch conservative channels.

I could weep from the beauty of it.
How we got to the ugly, punitive, self loathing condition we are in, in these “united” states, is heartbreaking.

Imagine what a commercial like this would do to a country where a wardrobe malfunction led to fines for indecency, blacklisting, and near-heart attacks for some TV viewers.

My world is a slightly nicer place today due to that post.
Many thanks. It’s truly appreciated.

I loved the ad, even once I found it was an ad for a phone company. The explanatory text actually brought tears to my eyes! What’s Iceland’s immigration policy?

Most of us who do nudist activities carry a small bag and, of course, a towel!
