Bob Garfield in
AdAge:
Jimi Hendrix, outlaw guitarist, has posthumously pitched for Reebok, Wrangler and three different car companies. How sick is that? Makes you wonder what's next -- Tupac for Weejuns? Kurt Cobain for Zoloft? Bob Dylan for Victoria's Secret? Answer: Bob Dylan for Victoria's Secret. In one of the most disconcerting matches of celebrity and product in advertising history, Dylan saunters into an opulent Venice ballroom making goo-goo eyes at a winged lingerie model. "I'm sick of love," he sings in the background. "I wish I'd never met you."  That
makes two of us. What a disturbing scenario. You have to do a double
take to see if Dylan's got wings on, too, because he doesn't look healthy.
And no wonder; the man is 173 years old. Whereas the model in the ad
seems to be in her upper teens. The exchange of glances, if not actually
criminal, is certainly repulsive.Bob Dylan = underwear? How? By what calculus? Dylan has been many things over his career, including the conscience of a generation, but a sex symbol is not one of them. Talk about cognitive dissonance. If this is a ploy to connect Victoria's Secret with rock 'n' roll eroticism, there were many, many better choices. For instance, are Alvin and the Chipmunks available? |
