Ashlee Simpson appearing in Skechers ads

Every day on the way to work for quite a long period of time I passed a bus stop vestibule that had a Skechers ad featuring Carrie Underwood from "American Idol." To be clear I didn't know who she was and had to ask someone at work when I was trying to figure out who it was.

I bring this up because Underwood has left the campaign and been replaced with Ashlee Simpson. Honestly, if I hadn't read this I probably wouldn't have noticed the change.

By the way, how many things are there to dislike in those two ad images? Between the pink computer (cause she's a girly girl) and the guitarist in mid leap (that's how I rock, doooooode) they're a potpourri of cliches.
