And To Think, I Just Tossed Mine With The Rest Of The Junk Mail

December 8th, 2007 | 7 Comments | Uncategorizable |

Via Kot­tke an, um, analy­sis of the Lands’ End catalog.

I won­dered if the art direc­tor had this all in mind. I won­dered if this guy needs to get out more.

Today one of their cat­a­logs landed in the mail­box again. But it (appar­ently) wasn’t this one.

    Sounds like this guy is pro­ject­ing his hos­til­ity about his recent divorce onto this cat­a­log and the women in it. If you get cre­ative you can almost fig­ure out what he’s gonna say next: “This bitch is prob­a­bly get­ting it on with the pool guy”; “Look at the smug look on that ones face. She thinks she’s all that cuz she makes more money than me”.

    Some­times I don’t toss mine out with the junk mail. I use it for…uh…bathroom read­ing. (Well it’s bet­ter than using it for porn). He asked the right ques­tion but got the wrong answer. “What guy wears this kinda stuff?” What woman for that mat­ter? That is the other ques­tion. I won­der if Lands End is attempt­ing to reach a niche sec­tor of the over-30-with-bulging-bellys mar­ket. I think we know who we’re talk­ing about here.

    The repeated men­tion of flan­nel paja­mas is the give­away. I’m not sure what their strat­egy is, but they seem to be reach­ing an audi­ence of men who would buy some­thing as a gift, if they had any­one in their lives to give it to.

    Hmmm.…OK, I can see that. Flan­nel paja­mas is a good last minute gift, albeit imper­sonal and not requir­ing much thought.

    I’m going to see the Lands End web­site to fig­ure this out. Do a lit­tle research. Get to the bot­tom of this.….

    The stuff on the web­site was in the cat­a­log i got last week. I did not notice til now that every­ones head was chopped off. But i rec­og­nized many of the items because some of them were just plain odd. A snow globe, mono­grammed tote bags.

    I ordered the Lands End Men cat­a­log. The front cover of that one has a pic­ture of a guy that looks just like Ander­son Cooper. Think my work is done here.

    At least it wasn’t a mono­grammed snow globe. And once every­one in your age/weight class has their de rigeur Lands End Tote Bagtm you’ll be grate­ful yours is mono­grammed so you don’t have to look through the con­tents to be sure you’ve grabbed the right one.

    Those tote bags are so tacky look­ing, even if they are mono­grammed. They look like some­thing you’d get free at a trade show or…something even tack­ier than that.

    I’ve got­ten bet­ter look­ing tote bags for free with the pur­chase of $25 worth of cosmetics.

    I’ve got it. They look like some­thing you’d get for free if you par­tic­i­pated in a walk-a-thon.
