Seriously. WTF?

Ralph Lauren was finally shamed into apologizing for it.

My son said, wow, she looks like she's about to die.
Was that the reaction they're going for?

I can't imagine what they were thinking. If they were thinking at all.

She doesn't even look human!
Whoever thought this was acceptable advertising should be starved to death as payback. Sickening !

Of course! What was I thinking? It's clearly a fall campaign.

This is the most ridiculous example of Photoshopping
since TV Guide put Oprah's head on Ann Margret's body!

Can you believe it actually made print? It looks like a practical joke that somehow slipped in by accident.

That photo is absolutely ridiculous. How could anyone do that?

That's totally gross! I'm glad they apologized.

Rachel Maddow did a segment on the picture and talked to the woman whose blog brought the picture to the world's attention. The model's head is larger than her pelvis. She has the dimensions of an insect!

Apparently Ralph Lauren's reaction to the blog's publicity was to send a lawyer letter, telling them to take down the blog post immediately. The blog (whose name I forget!) is sited in Canada, however, and the law the lawyers invoked is not applicable outside the U.S., so no dice. It's interesting that Ralph Lauren's reaction was not, Yo, we may have made a mistake, but Yo, get that off the internet. FanSee

If she was all in green she would look like a praying mantis.

I wonder what the model thought.

Why doesn't he cut to the chase and just start dressing corpse's?

Appalling.
