JenEllen, It's interesting that you responded to points I didn't make, while not actually responding to points I did make. It's not about the quality of product or the tastefulness of the catalog. I agree that VS is several steps better in those regards than most of their competition. It's about the attitude and the message. I know that almost no one uses adult models. That was part of my point.

". . . the land where any publicity is good publicity . . ."
How sad that this is true. I still maintain that anyone who uses this fact is a sell-out.

Obviously this ad isn't going to change anyone's mind about VS or about Dylan. It's just not all that important. I like sexy underhings as well as most, but I don't agree with the way they are marketed and sold. I like a lot of Bob Dylan's work, but I don't respect his decision to pursue publicity in a way that, to me, displays a lack of integrity.
