Reminds me of the "romantic theme" in Twilight where women are turned on by the idea of their own destruction. Why are we turned on by our own destruction? Why are Men turned on by our Destruction?

The Dolce And Gabana ad makes me physically sick. What were they thinking? What was that model thinking? What were the male models thinking? What was the photographer and his assistants and the caterer that day thinking for goodness sakes. What were the marketing people thinking? Amazing. The Duncan Quinn ad is really chilling - especially the look on the man's face. Again, what the hell were they thinking? <abbr><em>that girl’s last blog post..<a href="http://heyyourememberme.blogspot.com/2009/04/enough-dammit.html" rel="nofollow">Enough dammit!</a></abbr></em> I lived in Europe for a little while – the girl in the trunk ad doesn’t really surprise me for some reason – it’s sick yes, but kind of typical shock value stuff..
