Another Gap Parody Ad; Testing Duane Reade Eye-Shadow

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

We're closing up shop early for Christmas, and we'll be off tomorrow, but expect us back on Monday all rested and raring to go. Happy holidays!

People really love to parody those Gap ads. YouTube via Jezebel
