The criticism that Ralph Lauren doesn't want you to see!


Here's a textbook demonstration of how to solve your problems.

  • Somebody makes fun of your ad on the internet.
  • So you send them a takedown order for printing your ad without permission.
  • Problem solved.


Well, except for the fact that the satirist then printed the lawyer's letter and reprinted the picture, ridiculing both.

Can you guess the next step? I'm guessing the lawyers will next threaten to sue for publishing their C&D letter without their permission.

Reader comment:


To make it worse, Ralph Lauren fired Filippa Hamilton, the model in that photoshopped ad for being too fat. She had worked for them for 8 years (since she was 15), is 5' 10", 120 pounds, and a size 4. She was interviewed yesterday on the Today Show. Link here.
