Wrangler Manages to Make Rape and Murder Seem Fashionable…

You know that period at the end of the night, when that girl you’ve been eyeing at the end of the bar, gets up and stumbles to the door to leave, without saying goodbye to you, even though you made eye contact with her like twice, and she just heads out, and you have no choice but to follow her, and rape her and then leave her on the side of the road, bloodied, or in a river, if you accidentally killed her, while you were forcing your 300 pounds of man on top of her.

knows that period. And they’ve made the perfect jeans for it.

Good job for attempting to make dead women seem fashionable. You guys should consider rotting in hell.

    Seriously, is anyone on the internet familiar with Ryan McGinley’s work? He’s one of the most popular photographers working right now, and his work certainly has nothing whatsoever to do with “rape and murder”. It’s also strikingly beautiful. Check out his website when your knee stops jerking.

    I completely disagree, I don’t think his work is beautiful. He photographs skeletal naked bodies in different locations and it doesn’t feel as though there is any emotion behind the images. I do believe that neither Wrangler nor McGinley were trying to depict murder or rape, you have to agree that it sure does look like it.

    The word “Repugnant” does come to mind…Oh well, photography and art does mirror the social mores of our society. Historians will have a Hay Day!

    I cannot believe that there is anyone out there who does not find this INCREDIBLY offensive. Violence against women is such a serious issue and these images are absolutely intend to depict horrific scenes. This is enough to make me try to hurt Wrangler’s business through any word-of-mouth and social media outlets I can. I’m in the advertising industry and this is the lowest of the low. This is offensive to women and to any man with a soul.

    I completely agree. These ads just feel tasteless and immature for such a classic brand.

    Ryan McGinley’s work is beautiful stuff yet manages to not be compared to rape and murder scenes. He’s a completely different type of artists and the sexuality in his work is tame compared to the viciousness of this campaign.
