I thought it was kinda sexy.
You’re rather sort of an angry little man, aren’t you, Ilsa_Lund?
Hah! That cracked me up.
I have been searching for the exact phrase that sums up my reaction to those damn Old Navy commercials for months now…and never been able to find it. Until now. Thanks, Gadfly. 
C’mon Kirstie! Don’t be ashamed of your voluptuous figure! Wear tight-fitting pants!
…mmmm, zaftig…

**Is she related to Eartha Kitt? 
Alley Kitt:D ?
whenever I see that commercial, I think “Sorry Kirstie, Santa doesn’t date women who are fatter than he is.”
I have a CD that adds another refrain:
Then I’ll pack up all my presents and my new mink stole
And go and tell old Mrs. Claus to find a some other pole*
So Santa baby, hurry down the chimney tonight.
*whether this line is about Santa’s ethnic heritage or his penis is up to debate.
Worse? Worse? You don’t know just how much worse!
Pat Butcher sang it on the Christmas Eve “Eastenders” special.
You don’t know who I’m talking about, but believe me that all Dopers from the UK now have hairy shudders down their spines.
There aren’t many things that can hide her hips…
Would you rather Kelly Osbourne?
interviewer: So Kristie, you like Christmas, do you?
Kristie Alley: Oh yes, I love Christmas. The birth of Jesus and the presents and all the food and what not.
interviewer: I see here that in one of the very highest tenets of Scientology, called O.T.8, L. Ron Hubbard teaches us that Jesus was actually a homosexual pedophile and a tyrant, whose benevolent legacy is the result of false memories implanted by aliens … You’re a devout Scientologist, your thoughts?
Kristie Alley: Um… (grabs interviewer and shovels him into her gullet with a gobbling sound) BURP!
The Eartha Kitt version was sexy.
Kirstie Alley’s is just embarassing and provokes reflex stabbing for the mute button.
Thanks for the perspective though re Fran Drescher, Orbifold.
shudder.
First, let me say that on the basis of physical attractiveness alone, I’d do Kirstie anytime, anyplace, anyway.
Second, RTA- much as I would love to believe the validity of the OT-VIII “L Ron Vs Jesus” lecture, I haven’t yet been able to verify it as authentic Hubbard. Btw, I think that also contains L Ron’s claim that he is also mentioned in the Bible… as the Beast, carrying on the work of Aleister Crowley.
I think the only commercial Kirstie should do is the Sally Struthers Diet Plan.
You vicious bastard, I’ve been trying to forget that abomination and you have to bring it back. Damn you to buggery!
Heh. The lengths they go to to hide her enormity are, well, enormous. Even to the poing of adding lighting effects to cover her midsection whenever she’s not standing behind a tree or something.
It’s pathetic really, if she is proud of her weight, she should show it, not resort to lighting and makeup (false jawline anyone?) to hide it.

- An examination of OT8 (containing Hubbard’s assertion that he could be considered the “Lucifer” figure of Revelations) and whether it’s “authentic Hubbard”.
Aieeeeeee!
I would have torn of my own ears in protest, but I’d already gnawed my own arms off in mad, fight-or-flight reaction protest!
POOR PLANNING!!
[Obligatory South Park Reference]
I’m really not sure that laying around all day and eating Snacky Smores is going to help Kirstie lose any weight.
“No, this is my cake!”

“Creepy” is exactly the word I used when discussing this commercial with a friend the other day.
There’s something about Miss Alley’s eyes… Is something missing in her eyes (as if she’s had a lobotomy or is on serious medication)? Or is there in those eyes something unexpected – perhaps the smoldering fire of impending psychosis? Pondering this is what makes the commerical so appallingly nauseatingly hypnotic for me.
