Highbrow Despicable

The most recent issue of Italian Vogue boasts a spread, shot by Steven Meisel, entitled "Water & Oil." I find [the spread] to be utterly despicable and disgraceful--all those involved should be ashamed of themselves.

Does a stylist walk along the Gulf Coast and say: Look at that bird covered in oil, gasping for air--it's gorgeous!
What can we expect next? a spread mimicking earthquake and tsunami victims?

But oh, I forgot, the spill didn't affect people--just animals...

If it were human bodies that washed ashore, the concept would never have arisen...
