Not a Good Way to Get Press, But it's Still Press!

Dolce and Gabbana is back in the news - this time for being criticzed by a British watchdog agency criticized after they used ads with "models aggressively brandishing knives," according to the ABC News. The agency, known as the Advertising Standards Authority "said the company acted irresponsibly and breached standards of good taste in publishing the ads, which showed male models waving knives while surrounded by glamorous women models, in poses inspired by the paintings of French romantic artist Eugene Delacroix. One man was shown lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to the head." Wow. And they think that'll sell clothes?

Lucky for Dolce and Gabbana, the ads weren't banned. So this means that they got a little free advertising out of the deal, which is probably what they wanted anyways.
