Boyz II Men Croon in New Old Navy Airplane Ad

Is it just us or is there a weird white/black vibe going on in this latest installment of Old Navy’s airline-themed, Julie Hagerty commercial which features Boyz II Men singing “I’ll Make Love to You”?

Created by Crispin Porter + Bogusky, the ad has the boyz sashaying their way up the airplane aisle along with a group of women doing the same. After a bunch of lyrical loolooloo-ing, a woman babbles on about how many compliments she’s received on her white jeans and then says, “white is the new blue.”

The Boyz look at her dumbfounded. We can’t figure out if they are miffed by her bimbo-esque babble or have taken issue with her comparing white to blue instead of black.

Yea, we’re probably reading into this far to much but still. Kind of odd.
