I was affected recently by some discussion around the blogosphere about a new Gap window advertisement which suggests that people with body parts which some might deem unsightly should conceal themselves for the good of mankind. That interpretation sounds a little extreme, I'll admit, but given that the ad is SCREAMING in huge, capital letters for you to buy their pants – not because the company wants your money, mind you, but simply for the sake of all the helpless people who have to look at you– is pretty extreme in itself, utilizing flat-out bullying and meanness to get you to buy their stupid clothes.
