The Late Audrey Hepburn Pimpin' The Gap

[innerSpaceman]

And it's gone from he point where those of us who couldn't have cared less about a Sarah Jessica Parker shilling, should get upset by this lack of accord and respect to the dead - in general, as a mark of respect for humanity, in consideration for the feelings of those left behind ... loved ones - or, in the case of Ms. Hepburn, in particular - fans.



It's ghoulishness for commerce sake, and it should - i think - be unsettling to civilized peoples.

I think if Audrey gives them permission to use her image to endorse their product, then fine. If she is unable to grant that permission, then they should not be allowed to do so. I imagine they got the authorization from her estate, but if that is true than perhaps her estate managers should be a bit more selective about their choices. Audrey had way more class than the Gap does, and pasting her image on their product does not change the fact that their stuff is crap. What's next- Grace Kelly in a Wal-Mart ad?

*Shudder.*
I just pictured them replacing their smilie face logo with the the late Princess of Monaco's head.

Ghoulish? Is it ghoulishness to purchase an Audrey Hepburn film on DVD? Or perhaps AH memoribilia? Or maybe buy some of the original Givenchy fashions she WHORED OUT in Funny Face, the very movie this comes from?
