P.S. If the image could only convey one thing, it’s power to sell would be diminished because it would only appeal to people who get off on that single concept. It’s doubtful that D&G would want that.

It’s a photograph and is open to interpretion. Obviously it is meant to be sexually provocative. But why assume it is meant to convey only one idea? As a heterosexual woman with the affliction described by flea, I can see how some women would interpret it his way. Men who are rapists, or have rape fantasies would probably see it as a rape scene. Women who have fantasies of being raped might see it that way too. On the other hand, women who have fantasies of being consensually involved in sex with a group of men might look at it and see consensual group sex. Transvesites who fetishize the idea of themselves as women might see themselves in the woman depicted.

Try this as a caption under the advert:

I do NOT eat tuna tacos, bitch! Thank you, God, that I’m gay (and much better looking that John Edwards).

I won’t even buy thier crap at garage sales now. Rape isn’t sexy and DnG has gotten aged looking. It’s a rerun of a rerun.

I still contend this is a group of OBVIOUSLY GAY men attempting emergency fashion resuscitation. I also this this ad obviously privileges the impossible desire of certain tragic, beautiful women – who shall remain nameless – to be the object of desire of the aforementioned OBVIOUSLY GAY men.

Interesting how they initially blamed it on people who are “behind the times,” but when the “human interest groups” screamed (rightfully), they caught on. It was OK if they think it’s just silly old-fashioned (traditional) types complaining, but when those free-thinking, hip “human interest groups” (progressives) complain, they learn it’s not OK.

Got it.

Amoral idiots.
