Is anybody else wondering why Bob Dylan is doing Victoria's Secret lingerie ads?

I was wondering that, too! i watching the VS ad with that girl running around italy in her underwear and all of a sudden there was this creepy looking guy there. i was like, "what the fuck?" and then I was like, "isn't that bob dylan?" and then I was like, "what the FUCK?" again because damn, what's he doing looking all perverted in a VS ad for?

yeah, definitely kinda creepy, huh? he was all stalker-like, LOL! i don't know about you, ladies, but if i was a woman that ad would NOT make me run out and buy lingerie. if anything, it would have me reaching for my robe and trying to cover up.

Hey, why has Prince signed to a major label?

One is for cash, the other one is for gash!

The strange thing is I think they've been playing these commericals for years with his music, which was fine. But when you put him in there...it ain't so fine!

It seems like she is afraid...as she should be. The best part is, those things were probably not even taped in the same place (or time). That's some good acting on her behalf!

Guess there's one more we can label a sellout .

Next up: The Gap.

Isn't it obvious?
Bob Dylan is such a frickin' sex symbol, I mean, dude is HAWT!! I take mustache trimming lessons from that cat.....

It's just seems so strange that Bob Dylan would appear in an underwear ad. He must really be hard up for money or something to go along with selling bras and panties on TV.

But that's Hot ya Know.So Many Minnesotans. Real Cool.

Found this off of another message board (not sure of where the quote originally came from):

"In one of the strangest marriages of art and commerce imaginable, Bob Dylan, the poet laureate of the counterculture, an icon of hip detachment, is shilling young women in lingerie. Dylan appears in the ads, which debuted Tuesday during "American Idol" and will run on "The O.C.," "Will & Grace" and other shows in 15-, 30- and 60-second versions. The ads use Dylan's song "Love Sick" from 1997's "Time Out of Mind." Dylan appears in black shirt and white tie; model Adriana Lima appears in bra, panties and high heels.

"We asked and he agreed," said Ed Razek, chief creative officer for Victoria's Secret. "I can't speculate as to his reasons, but I would not guess money is a large motivator for him at this point." Razek said the amount of Dylan's fee is confidential. Dylan was unavailable for comment. But at a press conference way back in 1965, he was asked if he would ever sell out to commercial interests, and deadpanned, "Ladies garments."

Cuz' he's a guy, that's why. (If you need to ask further, go get your hormone levels checked.)

jackflash said:

He and the models were filmed separately, though. It's not like he got to see any tail.

EllisDee said:

Yeah! Almost 40 years later he's true to his word.

VoicesCarry said:

I bet he was disapointed. They should have asked his son Jacob instead.
