Insensitivity: 1 Respect: 0

London
Jul 12, 2010

UPDATE! Selfridges Tweeted this apology: "We apologise for any offence caused. It was not intentionaland the dress has been removed." *

Disrespect is alive and well and living in Manchester; Selfridges store window in Manchester to be precise. Some retarded VM obviously thought it was, like, a really clever idea to merchandise one of the late Alexander McQueen's dresses suspended from a makeshift gallows. And what is with the 'Adore'?? Adore what? The total heinous error of judgment here? Way to shit all over a dead man, Selfridges.

I'm hoping it was just a catastrophic oversight rather than some catastrophic attempt at being oh-so-subversive and ironic. Either way it smacks of utter thoughtlessness. Get a grip, Selfridges.

* Just how much is Twitter the new cop-out, scandal diffusing, PR medium..?
