I don't want to give them any kind of link love, but I am flabbergasted enough that I want to understand why they thought is appropriate. Definitely lost a lot of respect with me.</p><p>I imagine they wanted to reach their male demographic, It's just not well done. (Major understatement.) So far, my male friends have had the same WTF reaction. Major FAIL!</p>Chel WolvertonFri, 03 Oct 2008 07:57:21 -0000Re: What the f&#038;!@ were they thinking?: Levi 501http://chelpixie.com/2008/10/02/what-the-f-were-they-thinking-levi-501/#comment-2810835<p>I totally agree. Unfortunately, this seems to be the latest trend in "viral marketing". Do something that's ridiculously controversial to build up Google juice. Hey! It got you to write about it. While I'm not sure if this falls into that category, it's certainly more than a unusual and grotesque effort on the part of a long standing and respected brand, that just lost a great deal of their respect. People are going to write AND link to it.</p>EdRobertsThu, 02 Oct 2008 17:52:19 -0000Re: What the f&#038;!@ were they thinking?: Levi 501http://chelpixie.com/2008/10/02/what-the-f-were-they-thinking-levi-501/#comment-2804760<p>Yeah, I agree. WTF!</p>Zack MThu, 02 Oct 2008 14:21:58 -0000
