"Civil" European society is having hissy fits. The oppression of women in Islam, honor killings, spousal abuse, honor killing death threats to the first Druze Miss Israel, Jew hatred - check! They are down with that. But Dolce Gabbana? Unspeakable!
The ad has caused a huge controversy in Spain, France2 was scandalized into reporting on it, and now Amnesty International in Italy is asking that the ad be pulled from Italian magazines.
I think the ad is a metaphor. The woman is Europe, the men are jihadis. Rape is a weapon of Islamic Jihad isn't it? And Europe is being raped by Islam. Europe can speak up and out about this terrible Dolce ad but hey let's be frank, it is sexy - and it is supposed to be fantasy. They color themselves all righteous and rail against the Dolce boys but they can not or will not speak out against the Islamization of Europe? Think about it.
Fausta has the back story all here.

UPDATE: Multicultural Europe and its Suicide By Samir Khalil Samir
So-called dialogue with the Islamic world and relativism regarding marriage, the dignity of women, and sexual equality in the name of multiculturalism is destroying European identity and doing away with womens rights. hat tip Al










Fashion-smashion. As I commented on Fausta's blog, it looks an Angelina Jolie fantasy of a private pilates class taught by Brad Pitt + extras from Fight Club.

Interesting take on the metaphor, Pamela. Gives me something to contemplate. I like how you think, woman!

An insidious way to glorify violence against women--make the models sleek, sexy and well dressed. Hardly the reality of the vile crime.
This is a disgusting ad, especially in the times we are living--rape is being used as a weapon of war and terror across the globe, including in Europe. Show some victims the ad and see if that's how they remember it.

Tis a most interesting commentary, Pamela. I wonder if Europe is beyond saving.

Excellent, Pamela !
Searcher, too bad you are not sophisticated enough to appreciate Pamela's finger-in-the-eye implication to Europe's decline. And, good for Dolce & Gabbana for their timeless contribution.

Good on you, Pamela!
The nutroots and the Muzz want to shut me up and threaten me with a police investigation. Australian laws don't sanctify free speech like the US. I might have to go underground shortly. Plenty of hate-mail coming in because I wanted to stop a Wahabi mosque from going up in Cairns. The Muzzies want to kill me and the nutroots would sell me out for 5 cents. Its unreal:

What everyone is overlooking in the photograph is that most of the guys are looking at the guy on top of the girl. The ARE male models, right? Hmmm. Ann Coulter, where are you when we need you? LOL

Homoeroticism. Go to the Dolce Gabbanna website--it's obvious even to the unsophisticated like myself.

Hey, she's uncovered meat, isn't she?
Besides searcher is right ..she's safe. Not a single hair on any chest ... cakeboys looking to butch up

I'll wager that the chest is not the only place missing hair ! Ooooooooops, I did it again...to quote that pillar of virtue.

I agree epaminondas and DoctorDentons. Not only are they likely gay in character and in real life (which could be a metaphor for disproportionate representation of "San Francisco values" superseding the heterosexual majority), but Arabs would be way too hairy.
