Not so Funny Face

The FG's been annoyed by this for weeks, but has been a tad bit pre-occupied to blog it. So very glad to see the Gothamist picked it up.

Gothamist is not a fan of the ad - it makes us pity Audrey, hate "Back in Black" and want to run for cover, which is difficult, since the commercial plays on every single channel. It's interestingly jarring the first time you watch it, but then, upon airing after airing, you realize that the two things have nothing to go with each other and then you're left with a case of the mean reds. (...) The LA Times reported that Hepburn's son Sean Ferrer did work with the Gap and did approve the ads, so there's nothing we can do about it, except lobby the Rainiers and beg them not to sell footage of Grace Kelly in High Society to the Gap.

The Horror, the Horror!
