Darfur Cause Aims for Paris Hilton-Like Publicity

From AdRANTs by Steve Hall May 5, 2008>>read more.     Forrester Senior Analyst Jeremiah Owyang has written a concise summary with insightful commentary on the Louis Vuitton brand-jacked Darfur t-shirt situation. Briefly, an artist, Nadia Plesner, created a t-shirt showing a Darfur child holding an LV bag and a little dog.     Imagery sound familiar? It should and that’s Plesner’s point who explains, “My illustration Simple Living is an idea inspired by the media’s constant cover of completely meaningless things [ie. Paris Hilton]. My thought was: Since doing nothing but wearing designer bags and small ugly dogs apparently is enough to get you on a magazine cover, maybe it is worth a try for people who actually deserves and needs attention.”
