GUEST,02 Apr 04 - 08:45 AM Bob Dylan for Victoria's Secret (324* d) RE: Bob Dylan for Victoria's Secret 02 Apr 04


The ad does call into question just who the company is target mareketing to with the ad. Does anyone here believe that the ad for women's lingerie is actually directed towards young women of the age of the model? Or is it directed at older men who (like a lot of the men here, if this thread is anything to go by) enjoy looking at the Victoria's Secret model?

Lest we forget, there is some controversy about Victoria's Secret advertising and their prime time "special" that has aired. Here is a link to an online political forum discussion about it:

America's Debate forum

And then there is the recent workplace sexual harassment court case, involving charges against a Hartford CT police chief and his deputy, which alleges that the chief fired a female officer for union activities. The fired female officer also alleges, among other things, overhearing the male chiefs and officers making lewd remarks, and beinf forced to "tolerate" pornographic material displayed in the workplace. The suit also alleges the deputy chief handed the female officer a Victoria's Secret catalog, and told her to pick something out.

The ad portrays an old, powerful male (Bob Dylan) getting his jollies leering at the young, scantily clad, innocent girl (ie the angel). That sort of says it all, IMO.
