Thread Name: Bob Dylan for Victoria's Secret
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan for Victoria's Secret
The ad is targeting older men, in an attempt to get them to buy Victoria's Secret lingerie for women they know.

The whole Victoria's Secret thing is notoriously provocative and engenders a lot of anger from women of all ages.

From all women? Absolutely not. Women of all ages shop at and buy from the Victoria's Secret catalog.

Does the fact that many women buy Victoria's Secret Products mean Victoria's Secret's advertising doesn't make many women who don't buy their products, feel that Victoria's Secret is sexually exploitative and demeaning to them as women?

No.

Regardless of where you come down on the Dylan ad being provocative, disgusting, annoying, or whatever, does anyone here really believe the woman in the ad ISN'T intended to be a sex toy for the old man?

The old men commenting upon the ad in this thread are certainly suggesting through innuendo, that she is.
