Thread Name: Bob Dylan for Victoria's Secret
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan for Victoria's Secret
Like, is it a hot flash or news that ads target people? Do you see any difference between this ad and an ad that was aired years ago in which a car came to a stop in the desert and about a half dozen scantily clad young ladies appeared from lord knows where and proceeded to drape themselves on the hood of the car?

Do you really think that this ad will make one damn bit of difference to the crap that goes on in the world? Really?

We have had professional sports people advertising shoes made by enslaved children in SouthEast Asia. Is this any more lewd or disgusting than that? We use tax money to have farmers burn wheat crops rather than get that 'surplus' food to where people can eat it. Millions starve to death every year on this planet, and the moral f#ckin' majority is worried about some ad that don't amount to a hill of beans.

If you want to change the ad or its airing, write a letter to the Victoria's Secret company and let them know you disagree, and why. Refuse to buy their products. Act, don't posture.
