Mullen's Winston-Salem, N.C., office has done some new ads for Men's Wearhouse. Could nobody stop them? Two spots feature "regular guys" who mistake a World War I trench (below) and a police stakeout van (after the jump) for Men's Wearhouse stores. The cops in the latter are dressed in the kind of lame threads MW sells, so his confusion is somewhat understandable. As for the trench, well, maybe he was shopping for khakis. Client CEO George Zimmer gets less screen time than in past campaigns. But that actually makes him more annoying. Just when you think they've tried something different, and shut George away in a closet: Bam! There he is. He'll never leave. I guarantee it.
