I think advertising may have hit its new low .
Seriously, were these ads designed by a serial killer? Are the French consumers of this ad really a bunch of necrophiliacs? What the hell?
And no, before anyone even brings it up, I’m not buying that the “animals” in these ads are the women, being all dangerous and stuff. The palid skin, the vague sense of decomposition — it screams death. And then there’s this ad:
Sorry, that is an animal — a dead Homo sapien — and it’s revolting. Really, what are we selling here — other than rape and murder?
This is a despicable campaign. It fetishizes murder and violence against women. To sell blue jeans. The people making the ads should be ashamed, though Copyranter doubts they are .

Oh no, Mark Steyn has discovered that the end of Western Civilization is nigh ! It’s all tied to this article in The Economist , which tells a dire tale:
A NEW disease is abroad in eastern Germany: Frauenmangel, lack of women. In some towns there are only 75 young women for every 100 young men. In one or two there are as few as 40. The effects are worrying, not only because populations may shrink but also because of the existence of a growing underclass of young men who are partnerl...

I’m fond of Glasgow. It doesn’t have the effervescent aura of Edinburgh, but it’s got a workmanlike charm.
Back in 2001 my then-fianceé and I flew into Glasgow International Airport. We exited the airport, as near as I can tell, through the very doors targeted by the men who attacked that airport today.
So you may expect that I’d be completely freaked out by the attack today , in full zOMG THE BROWN PEEPLES IS ATTAKKIN A PLACE I BEEN 2!!@!!!@!!!eleven!!! mode.
