    I just saw this ad in the NY Magazine online, and sent it in as a tip. My bad - I should have known that the alarm would've sounded already! Sorry about that, Jezebelles!

    I like Beyonce, but her tendency to "incorporate" (almost) her entire persona from other sources is a bit maddening.


    But it's Hollywood dahling...I guess there's nothing new under the sun...and everyone's a bit of a copycat.

    So, as someone into bondage and stuff, I could see this image being sexy if it looked more consensual. Even if she was doing a slinky crawl while leashed by the necktie, I think it would be hot (like Madonna crawling and drinking the milk in that music video). But there is something wrong about his face, just this 100-yard stare. Ick. It is frightening that advertisers thought that this would be a better ad than two people enjoying themselves.

    Of course this will make some men want to buy their suits. Because some men can't separate sex + violence, and are, in fact, turned on by violence against women.

    @Macloserboy: I don't think she was being sarcastic- I just think she was saying that some men will be turned on by this ad- because it appeals to them because they DO combine sex and violence. Should those men have the means, they may indeed be inclined to buy the suits- but not because they are taking a literal meaning from the ad. This obviously comes down to how advertising really works. You don't generally see an ad and say, YES! I want that! or I AM that!- You know it is much more subtle than that.

    That is hands down the worst advertising picture I have ever seen. I can only imagine how many sick sick men are using the picture as fodder for their imagination. I hope that there is some legal way to tie this picture in with the men that are violent with women who have seen the picture. (wow that sentence was an English teacher's nightmare)

    @CandyColoredFrown: I understand what you are saying. I do not believe either that men hurt women because of photographs, but I do believe the photographs A. Normalize violence against women and B. provide a catalyst for individuals that are already disturbed. This is not a photo that one would have to find on a "rape fantasy" site (which would involve a man dedicated enough to search out a rape site to begin with) This is a photo that one might stumble across on a simple search for clothing. Not only is it easily accessible masturbatory material for murders, rapists and sexual sadists the world over, but it is incredible disturbing to anyone that has lost a loved one through murder. The picture itself looks nearly identical to a crime scene. I can imagine if someone had lost a daughter or wife in a similar situation this photo would be unbearable.

    @J.D.Regent: Given all the comments yesterday that it was ridiculous to get worked up about such a stupid little thing when there is real sexism in the world, like women getting acid thrown in their faces, I'd it's an apt comparison. The "why do you care about such stupid things? You're giving feminism a bad name!" gets routinely trotted out to silence people for pretty much everything that isn't a woman being a horribly disfigured or killed, and seeing so many people happily embrace it to shut people up because they like the politician the guy works for and think the guy himself is cute is really depressing.

    @esorlehcar: not to beat dead horses because i think good points were made yesterday and today, but my point is that it is possible that the lack of horror about the facebook pic wasn't because of Obamamania or a crush on Favreau, but because the photo was of an extremely different nature than this one, and reasonable feminists could disagree about the nature of its sexism or its consequences. but like i said sarah's points are well taken and i don't disagree with her.
