Continuing their misguided and terribly executed orange bike campaign, DKNY has infiltrated YouTube with a 1 minute 53 second clip of a model speaking out in support of the company's great..."humanitarian cause"? The video starts off showing two models mowing each other down with fake miniature cars as an orange bike lies on the ground...probably not the best way to negate the whole ghost bike thing.
Hear that children: you could take a cab and skip two meals, or you can ride a bike and skip one meal. Skipping meals is good! Cars are bad! Of course biking is a great way to get around the city, we just think the streets might be safer if this particular model sticks to mass transit.

can we just pretend this video never happened?
I can't wait for her response to the entire world making fun of her. A tearful spot on Oprah perhaps?
skinny bitches. rich cunts don't want to eat? fuck 'em.
Supermodels. Is there anything they don't know?
Wasn't she on 'America's Next Top Douche'?
Oh, wait, that show only plays in my imagination. Too bad, she would have gone all the way.
those little skinny things stole this idea. here's an idea for them. why don't we hang up a buncha skinny dkny girls in union square. then we can all take turns throwing tacos and cheeseburgers at them. the person landing the most food in the skinny girls' mouths gets a prize. maybe even a neat orange bike.
Good way to teach young females to skip meals. sigh.
Donna Karen (and her fur wearing "supermodels") should set an example by not having her employees, goods, and supplies transported by vehicles.
Does anyone really think Donna takes mass-transit?
"We feel, like, during Fashion Week models get a voice... like twice a year"
Two times too many, Sweetheart.
She wasn't even hot looking. What happened to super models that looked edible?
Why can't we all be skinny, vapid, hungry, self centered, whiney, brainless twits?
Kids! It's a parody. Are you people really that dense? Click through and see the other videos the spider team has on youtube.
But, hey, nice work on the stereotyping of models!
I'm sorry, everyone missed the 'biting irony' and the 'cutting social satire'. [That means the video is terrible and didn't do its' job. More likely it means we just aren't cool enough to understand.]
enough!!! enough ... with ... the orange bikes and dkny already!!!!
that said, it is quite clear this dramatization completely, utterly failed at its mission.
"But, hey, nice work on the stereotyping of models!"
I think all the credit goes to the people making the video, no?
No, the people who made the video were playing off the model stereotype for comedic purposes. The commenters here were buying into the model stereotype hook, line and sinker to the point of calling them "skinny bitches, rich cunts", "Wasn't she on America's Next Top Douche", "why don't we hang up a buncha skinny dkny girls...", "she wasn't even hot looking" and "Why can't we all be skinny, vapid, hungry, self centered, whiney, brainless twits?"
this whole thing distracts from the real debate. Ban bicycles from city streets.
"No, the people who made the video were playing off the model stereotype for comedic purposes."
Well unfortunately for the people making it it wasn't *actually* funny.
Except for maybe how funny it is that models are potentially stupid.
That was too painful to watch - my eyes hurt. I guess they want an auto-free NYC to go with their brain-free heads.
I want a supermodel-free New York.
Can you fix the headline? DKNY DID NOT MAKE THIS VIDEO.
This is a parody. The same people who posted this video posted an orange bike protest film. Can we please clear this up?
