Ur credentials? Your killing me, just cuz complex started this flipped out ish you got credentials? OK, you do (r maybe not u exactly). Please believe that you guys took the time to give them a free ad (btw, if they paid 4 this, BRILLIANT!) by breaking formation and posting an essay!?!?

Take off your “sensibly priced Isaac Mizrahi flip-flops” and get back to reminding me that I PRAY THESE ARE THE LAST J’S!!!…but good writing. PLEASE JORDAN BRAND! U NEED THE HELP!!!

Von Walter is the same person quoted on the CBS blog when Mn. parent Lisa Ray was interviewed, and not that it matters, but gosh…I’ve certainly received far more than a dozen responses from blogger moms ‘offended’ both by the ad pose AND the dissing of a customer’s frustration…just think if I HADN’T asked our fanbase to ‘behave’ and let it run its course on its own.

If I were a PR person, I’d hold a media crisis pow-wow pronto and instruct any/all for full transparency on the creative process…including that model’s number! ;-) Although it’s too late now, as I’m sure she’s been ‘debriefed’ not to talk to the press…Great idea tho…she no doubt could tell the photo shoot story very well.

I wouldn’t be surprised if corporate decides to pay her either hush money or bigger bucks to come out w/THEIR preferred version of the story so it doesn’t ‘leak’ again and cause more brand damage.

As one who has spent 25+ years in advertising, no tactics surprise me anymore, as gutter ethics and shock talk antics have reached a new low in attempt to gain buzz.

Our industry has gotten to the point where ‘anything goes’ and it’s easier to ask ‘forgiveness than permission’…

Come to think of it, they’ve done neither.
