‘What was Marc Jacobs thinking?’
Criticism of a new spot laced with sexual innuendo goes to show that a fashion designer does not an ad designer make. Plus, meme-inspired holiday ornaments, Baskin-Robbins’ turkey cake, bad reviews on World Wonders, and more.
Judging by the collective response to Marc Jacobs’ new “Jack of All Shades” spot, it’s safe to assume that the eccentric fashionisto probably shouldn’t call himself a Jack of all designer trades just yet, at least not from an advertiser’s standpoint. Based on the sardonic opinions unleashed on the Web, he apparently missed the boat according to most critics. Promoting Jacobs’ new sunglasses, the “masturbation-themed” and perhaps NSFW commercial has left the likes of The Daily Beast and Jezebel asking just one thing: What was he thinking? I, on the other hand, am not so sure I really want to know the answer.
What I do want is this collection of meme-inspired holiday ornaments from Ermahgerd Ernaments for my tree this year.
