My wife is hopping mad she wrote:
Last week Michelle Malkin exposed an M.A.C. lipstick ad as being
anti-Republican. About six weeks ago, I bought a Kenneth Cole handbag
and loved it. Last week, however, I bought the September 2006 issue of
Vogue magazine. On pages 210-211 of the magazine, there is an ad for
Kenneth Cole handbags and shoes that states, With the
government recording personal phone calls, our rights aren’t the only
thing on the line. Are you putting us on? - Kenneth Cole
Carrying the handbag now makes me feel a little sick as in
nauseous. Before I saw the ad, I was extremely happy with the quality
of the handbag and would definately have bought more Kenneth Cole
handbags in the future. Read More.
Lesson? Be very careful you don’t alienate a large market segment by
being cutesy with your political statements. I’ll never look at
handbags in the same way again!
