I work at a publication that sold ads to Dove, showcasing grownup women selling skin cream in their underwear. Nothing you don't see at the beach, or at the Jacksonville airport for that matter, and all airbrushed to mannequin-like perfection. Yet we've received hundreds of letters accusing us of running "naked" pictures that degrade women and inflame the grandchidren and cause dirty-minded elderly men no end of embarrassment in the dentist's chair. I am heartened by your forthright responses to your complainants; may I send mine to you for a proper flogging?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2214352465674633266.post-82754206088374207112008-03-24T22:16:00.000-04:002008-03-24T22:16:00.000-04:00Let me tell you: As a 27-year old newspaper report...Let me tell you: As a 27-year old newspaper reporter with very few friends who read the daily religiously, I am THRILLED that there is a feaure in our paper that adds a little fun, a littel lightness. I am proud of that feature (AND the picture of the bra fitting). I'm certain any number of my peers wouldn't blink twice at such a "controversial" photo.Amanda Gilloolyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01149366756008890084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2214352465674633266.post-37637612386583343592008-03-24T16:05:00.000-04:002008-03-24T16:05:00.000-04:00I wonder if Penney's got any heat about the photo?...I wonder if Penney's got any heat about the photo? Oh wait, no one bothered to flip the freakin' paper over and read the cutline that said it was a mannequin. Next time there should be bold text across the photo that reads "No real females were used while taking this photo."Moehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13612323587459830074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2214352465674633266.post-45580492026170858382008-03-24T13:48:00.000-04:002008-03-24T13:48:00.000-04:00This depravity is indescribable.

Just trying to be titillating, aren't you? It's obvious to me that you, sir, are pandering to the male mannequin demographic. Have you no shame?!? Please cancel my subscription. Oh, wait, I get the paper for free. Never mind. But do you think, in light of this outrage, that we should really go ahead with the edible panties spread planned for next week?Branthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472711158045753698noreply@blogger.com
