Louis Vuitton Hearts Terrorists
Take a look at the array of ads found in the first section of today’s New York Times to mark Fashion Week and the anniversary of 9/11. What makes the Louis Vuitton ad different from all the others?
Apparently, the folks at Louis Vuitton don’t truck with that "I Love America" shit.
Well, I guess I’m supposed to be filled with righteous moral outrage or something… Right? I mean, I’m sure that somewhere out there Glen Beck just climaxed over the fact that a French fashion company that hawks overpriced man sandals is aiding and abetting the enemy (“It’s a veritable shoe to the face of the American public!”). But, honestly, I’m having a little trouble with my patriotic duty to give a shit.

I agree. We need to show LV what its like to have low sales for 6 months because Americans stopped by their shoes. personal grants

The entire world expressed it’s empathy at the time, but given the fact that America would not stop acting like the caricature of itself and immediately marched off to invade…....Iraq(?) a disinterested non player in 9/11, shows that you need to be careful who you sympathise with.

Louis Vitton doesn’t seem to be honoring 9/11 like the other ads. All they care about is selling thier shoes. Shameful.

Geez, it happened, get over it…the rest of the world has.
Barely rated a mention in the media here.
