    I'm always happy to see Africans being shown in a more positive modern light. Yes, it is incredibly important to draw attention the problems in Africa (and the rest of the world), but when all people see is violence and famine it just contributes to the "otherness" of Africans as a people. There are positive things happening too and it's wonderful to see that highlighted. #getyourwagon

    Pretty lady, but yet another group of women that I find completely useless and uninteresting. Posh only catches my eye because she's crazy and says "may-juh". #getyourwagon

    @wtfox?!: Um, yeah, I totally said that some of the women are obviously going to be amazing, but probably not appreciated for that so much as being pretty and dating/marrying someone rich. Overall, the concept just bores me SO MUCH. The wives of rich men?Snore. #getyourwagon

    @wtfox?!: Sure but why isn't this the highlight of the article and not "I'm a useful African WAG"? It sounds weird and ridiculous. #getyourwagon

    @goodcheapfun: Um, possibly because the article isn't a biography, but an overview of a phenomenon that manifests itself slightly differently in African society, and with different implications, than it does in Europe. And because I was, on the whole, making sarcastic use of the original commenter's blanket remark about WAGs being "useless," instead of responding to the article itself which has, as I said, different concerns.

    the WAG thing was a fascinating thing to discover when i studied abroad in london. that along with the absurd tabloid sensations like katie price and chantelle made me realize that the u.s. doesn't have a monopoly on bullshit news. kind of comforting and sad at the same time. #getyourwagon

    also, i will like to thank jamelia for "superstar" which along with "push the button" by the sugababes, will always be the official soundtrack to my london experience

    it's easy to say that the peoples' campaign was inspired by mad men, but plenty of photo shoots that lionize that style period pre-date the show. the brad & angelina photo spread for "w" is a good example.

    It may be the queerest of the queer, but this campaign isn't garbage. I still get happy feet when I see everything illuminated like this. Just a (hob)bit.

    @cailizma: I think they're great for basics if you fit their archetype, but their menswear runs incredibly short (Target's does as well from time to time, but not consistently like Gap), which has stopped me from shopping there. Having said that, I love their holiday ads for being cheerful and benign, and their choice of nonthreatening and unsexualized spokesmodels is a boon for those of us who don't like to be intimidated by models (the year they had Liz Phair dressed down in cardigans and sensible skirts after her Avril Lavigne-esque sexualized "girl" downfall a few years prior I nearly died).

    It'll be neat to see the company get "more modern" though.

    I think Elijah looks fantastic in the ad. I don't know what it is about him, but he rocks that nerdy/yuppie thing so well. Also, I don't really get Man Men from it at all.

    @Penny: Good question. But I'm also pretty excited--Gap advertising is ok, and it's consistent, but Crispin is a creative in a way that blows my mind at times. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with the account.

    The Times interview with Jil Sander is wonderful and reminded me why I love her so much.

    I'm still too fat for Uniqlo clothes though, curse them.
