After a helping of public outrage, Barneys has pulled the bloody A.L.C. and Helmut Lang window displays.

Honestly, this is a bit much, but PETA goes much farther in their demonstrations. While Barneys was right to pull this display, I can’t help but wonder why people get in such a tizzy over a couple of mannequins and badly faked blood spatter and can ignore people parading around with animal carcasses.

Clearly they did it for press, and press they received. In that respect, a job well done on the guerrilla advertising campaign.
