What modern man of passion doesn&#39;t yearn to express himself in such words? We make fun of the socially and morally restricted Victorians but I wonder, when we achieved the freedom to be vulgar, did we lose the space to be sublime? <br /><br />MikeMichael Farrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931005151621296640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2824476215637384474.post-29715701232914332532009-06-20T14:46:32.410-04:002009-06-20T14:46:32.410-04:00@ yogagrrl - yeah, Christopher is pretty awesome. I have to agree - one of my favorite ads too.<br /><br />@ Matt - do you think that there was a greater range of freedom of expression? I think that part of what made these ads interesting is that they seem to provide a space to be open without censure.Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10602862698828443177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2824476215637384474.post-67879487163648968432009-06-20T14:28:20.886-04:002009-06-20T14:28:20.886-04:00The funny thing is thate there&#39;s so much freedom of expression in these two ads. I&#39;m fascinated that finding someone to read poetry with or finsing romance in a correspondence CAN be sought after as romantic.<br /><br />How many guys today would say &quot;I just want to find someone to read poetry with?&quot; How many guys today wish they COULD say that?<br /><br />There&#39;s something powerfully ironic in that, even in the presumably far more restrictive standards of the time, there actually seems to be a greater range of masculine-acceptable relationship models...Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2824476215637384474.post-83270245901847240822009-06-20T12:28:09.310-04:002009-06-20T12:28:09.310-04:00Christopher&#39;s ad is amazing.
