Burberry goes the way of Abercrombie’s *UPDATED*

Abercrombie & Fitch used to be a rather stodgy store that sold high quality sportswear — for those who viewed “sports” as hunting and fishing.  It now sells trendy clothes, propped up by tawdry advertising.  It seems as if the venerably Burberry’s (conservative raincoats, for those not old enough to remember) has gone the same way.  Driving in San Francisco today, I saw a huge Burberry’s bill board that showed the backview of a man with a woman on either side.  He had an arm around each woman’s shoulder — and the women were holding hands behind his back.

Are there no standards any more?  Do my children really need to try to figure out what a menage a trois is as they drive down San Francisco streets?

UPDATE:  I owe Burberry’s an apology.  Having seen the ad again, I realize that it was another company, the name of which I am struggling to remember.  I’ll remember it eventually, or I’ll drive by the billboard again and make a note.
