People today keep constantly pushing the limits of fashion and the media. They seem to be trying to go as far as they can, without going over the top. I think that the people of VMan have gone over the top this time. They have decided to put Shrek characters in a fashion spread that consists of a bunch of half-naked young adults partying and in very promiscuous looking situations. I understand how movie companies are always looking for new, inventive ways to promote their upcoming releases (I work at target and no matter where I go in the store I see Miley Cyrus’ face on everything- from pillows to t-shirts to band aids, and even waffles), but I fail to see how Princess Fiona juggling her three children while at a dance party filled with wild young adults is going to convince people to go see the newest Shrek movie. Maybe they were trying to give Shrek a new edgier image in order to make the transition along with their original young fans from the first movie who are now young adults. But I thought Shrek was supposed to be a family film for all ages. If they want to promote a racier image in order to appeal to an older audience, they need to be ready to say goodbye to their new fans under the age of 10 because I guarantee there will be a lot of parents who feel that the donkey looking like he “had just been in a threesome” is a little mature for their young children.
