In case you missed it, this text appeared next to a picture of a well-dressed male advertising Calvin Klein's Fall 09 Suit Separates collection: "Heads turn, eyes gaze, your moment arrives. After all, you dress to impress with an array of modern styles just waiting for compliments. This is your edge -- keep it sharp."
No complaints about the writing, but wondering why we pay more attention to our apparel than we do to homeless people, overeating or other issues of great import. We're better than this, and we know it. But we keep forgetting because the ads are so compelling. I mean, this fella was Handsome with a capital "H" and I don't say that out loud very often. For a fleeting moment, I wanted to be him. And that's just plain wrong because I like myself. So, maybe you could downplay the amount of adverts in the future -- or at least their effectiveness. Keep clothes random and exciting, though. Choice is very important to the human condition.
