Gap makes jeans for your "Pegged Boyfriend"

Internet find of the day: Gap is now manufacturing... well, these:

This amusing blunder was first noted by Dan Savage, who was tipped off by a reader. That's fitting, because a Savage Love reader was, of course, the source of the 2001 neologism "to peg," which means for a girl to strap on a dildo and anally penetrate her male partner. I mean, in case you, like the Gap, didn't know that.

Knowing is half the battle.

How about giving that O'Reilly character a good pegging before we ship him off to the streets of Cairo?

I'd really like the ad campaign to feature a male face that is simultaneously surprised, aroused, and scared.

This is even better than the "Active Bottoms" department at TJ Maxx!

I've been looking for a garment that double as a romantic valentine's gift! Thanks, Gap!

Any idea what the Gap's trying to describe here? I'm assuming it's not jeans with a zipper front _and_ back.
