The Rape of Innocence

shs_safari-boys.jpg A cute-ugly new ad campaign for SHS clothes for the teen set, "Goodbye Innocence," depicts a young man and a young woman seated in the midst of their safari-hunted booty. The girl's kills include skinned teddy bears and the trophy skulls of Hello Kitty and Snoopy. The boy's quarry includes robots, aliens, and Minnie Mouse. How interesting. How unique. What a fine job the ad team did with this! Only, they stole the idea, of course, from Portland, Oregon, artist Michael Paulus. Click below for the other execution.

What's SHS?

Susannah, please do not forget that you stole the idea of calling out phonies from Dr. John A. Larson, who had stolen it from a particularly astute soul I had slaughtered in an orgy of nuclear energy inside a volcano.

Know what really needs to be hunted and killed? The myth of the Great White Hunter.
